Justice for 38 people that were killed in accident on yamuna expressway
The Issue
I know you might be thinking that why i am doing this ... it's just a accident...but it's not....there were several reasons behind the accident...and many people are responsible for not doing their job properly...and these types of accidents are so common now on yamuna expressway that every 2nd day people are dying due to irresponsible authorities...but still they are not taking any action... please go through this once...and if you find it valid do share
38 people were killed on 8th july when a passenger bus fell into a gorge on the Agra-Lucknow Expressway.
The bus, after hitting the divider, fell into the 40-feet-deep gap between two flyovers on the Yamuna Expressway near Milestone 161 (Jharna nallah) under Etmadpur police jurisdiction of Agra district at around 4.15 a.m. But their was no one to help them. A watchman sitting near to the nallah informed the police but they reached at 6:30 am by that time 29 people had already died. And at 6:30 am only two police officers arrived without any additional help. They rest of the passengers were taken out by the help of local villagers near the nallah. Most of the passengers were died due to drowning.
Despite of all this the bodies were not handled firmly and were thrown in a single room.
UP Government officials after a investigation blaimed the driver without checking the root cause of the accident and the officials who were responsible for this accidents were set to free and were promoted.
The bus driver was continuously driving for 18 hours and had already completed his 2 shifts back to back. Still they forced him to drive the bus. Knowing that he his unware of this route and has not slept for hours.
A passenger (gaurav) was sitting just beside driver seat had claimed that the government officials are lying and the driver was not sleeping.
The bus was over speeding and was travelling with 160km/hr. But due to lack of sufficient speed cameras on highway he was not warned.
The police officers and medical help didn't reached on time then for what we are paying the toll tax???
The company who constructed the bridge was asked to reduce or fill the gap between the two bridges and to increase the height of divider to prevent such accidents but still no action was taken from their side and nor the government officials checked that they had successfully completed their projects or not.
Their were no speed control governor inside the bus. And the bus manufacturing was also not good. And the bus axle broke which led to drowning of the bus.
Despite of all these i would like to ask the reasons for which the officials responsible for this accident are promoted?? And i want ask the government officials to investigate the matter and the guilty should be punished
The CM announced 5 lacs relief fund to that family members of the passengers who died in accident which had still not been received. And when a family member of fellow passenger tried to ask for the reasons. She was abused.
Its high time to unite. This is not the least . raise up your voice or else you could be the next.
Its report by economic times-
"NOIDA (UP): The Yamuna Expressway in Uttar Pradesh witnessed over 150 deaths in road accidents this year so far, the maximum ever since it got operational in 2012, according to official data.
