This morning I woke up to the sad news of four teenagers crushed to death after travelling on the foot board of a bus in Chennai.

Every one in Chennai knows that travelling on the foot board is a daily affair and the Government has done nothing about it so far.

I am not here to say ‘I said so‘ a year ago, but am just reiterating the fact that a simple move such as ‘providing buses with automatic doors – with driver responsible to make sure the doors are shut when the vehicle is moving’ would have saved the lives of these four precious kids.

MY GOVERNMENT, PLEASE WAKE UP AT LEAST NOW!
