    Saddened to read this news. May her soul rest in peace we pray. May God give strength to the family to bear this loss. Because of this driver's negligent driving one life is lost. Yet again, bus drivers prove to be dangerous. Least that authorities & RTO can do is just cancel DL of this driver, never again he should be allowed to drive in his life. Bus owner should compensate to the family of the deceased. Unless our systems change in punishing the erring drivers, these incidents will continue. Bus owners will bribe the concerned officials and hush up the case.
