It has been reported by the locals that every day these buses go at speed of 120 to 140, which clearly indicates that there is no speed governor installed in the bus. Public also raised concern that these bus drivers are young and without experience and may be tried to show heroism to girls inside the bus. This is seen as the major cause for this accident as there was no other fast-moving vehicles or traffic on the road during the time of accident. Negligent and rash driving is to be blamed here.


Below points will help us to avoid this kind of issue in future.


Drivers of college bus drivers should be experienced and aged at least above 40 years.

If there are delays because of acceptable reasons, college management to accept it and not pressurize the drivers to reach on time.
