    The autorickshaw drivers are very rude in Puttur area. They drive recklessly and do not care for other vehicle users. They think they have the only right to drive on the Highway which connects to Mysore. Sympathy with the deceased family and may God give strength to the bereaved family. Hope the child survives the horrific accident and released from hospital safe and sound.
