A minibus plummeted into a river gorge in Jammu on Monday (4th may, 09) killing at least 30 people.

The accident occurred when the bus skidded off a road on a sharp curve in hilly terrain and fell about 500 feet into Chenab River near Bandarkot village in Kishtwar district, about 145 miles from Jammu, Thaindian News reported.

The minibus was designed to carry 20 people but was carrying at least 35 people.

Wah India Wah!

Afterall, the central government sanctioned Rs. 8000 crores for the highways of Jammu & Kashmir. We all know none of these funds would be utilized deligently and "road safety" has no relevance with the authorities. Who bothers for human life in India anyways?

Why such accidents happen?

1) Faulty Road designs
2) No signage/warnings on road conditions
3) Poor driving skills. Driving licenses are just issued without any sort of formal driving training. It happens through out the country.

So this will never end. Political paries just know how to condole such accidents but when it comes to doing something, they simly turn a blind eye. Afterall, the leaders travel on helicopters.
