Udupi, Aug 7: The roads in Udupi are flooded in many places, due to the heavy rains that are lashing the district since two days. People and the private bus drivers are putting their life at risk, by travelling on the flooded roads. A video of a bus being driven in a dangerous manner on a road which is completely inundated is currently doing rounds on social media.
The video has prompted many to voice out their concern, slamming Road Transport Authority for failing to keep a check on city buses plying without keeping safety in mind.
In the video it can be seen clearly that the lives of the driver and the passengers are in danger. The bus driven on flooded Petri-Kukkikatte road, is moving downwards on a slope at high speed. The locals have caught this dangerous and senseless act of the driver on the camera.
It is definitely not safe to travel in buses on such roads during heavy rains. But as this bus runs in a rural area, the people do not have any other choice.
