    Sad incident in the Benchmarks of Fajir Gram. Even though it's new Bus Route and it was started few months ago, that was the ONLY Bus in this Route Traveling. The Road is very Narrow. whenever Two vehicles come on either sides there is no way to give side..etc. Authorities should take Proper measures to widen the Road, Also some Stone Guards in Dangerous zones where it is very deep near the Road and to Reduce the Height of Ghat at Nagabana Junction. Hope such incidents may not Repeat. Pray for the injured to recover Soon...

    GOD only has saved the residents of the house ,If it would have happened a bit more, there would have been even more casualties.The driver of the bus must have paniced whenhe suddenly saw the on coming motorcycle and tried to save his life from an accident and it seem's to be a winding narrow road also.slippery road due to rain may be a possibility.
