This highlights local government efforts to address public safety concerns and regulate private transport operators in urban areas.
The Tirunelveli City Police organised a meeting with private bus owners on Tuesday as an aged couple were crushed to death by a speeding bus on Monday.
Chairing the meeting, Deputy Commissioner of Police, Tirunelveli East, Saravanan, said the drivers of buses and trucks had the greater responsibility to strictly follow road safety rules, considering the safety of every road user. Hence, the drivers of heavy vehicles should operate their buses or lorries at ‘safe speed’ and avoid rash driving that often killed several innocents on the road.
“Those who dare to defy law will be booked. Moreover, the vehicles involved in such violations will be seized immediately,” Mr. Saravanan warned.
