A Jain Sadhvi died in a tragic accident in Surat when she was hit by a city bus while walking on the road. The incident took place near Makkaipul in Chowk Bazar area on Monday. The victim was on her way for the last darshan of the Guru when the accident happened. The entire Jain community is in mourning and anger over the incident.
This is not the first time the negligence of city bus drivers has resulted in fatal accidents. Just last month, a city bus hit a youth's bike in the Ring Road market area, killing him on the spot. The victim's wife was nine months pregnant at the time. The city has seen a rise in the number of accidents due to the negligence of the bus drivers, with cases being reported every week.
The incident has raised questions about the safety measures taken by the authorities to ensure the safety of pedestrians and commuters on the roads. With more people on the roads, it is important for the city's transportation system to prioritize the safety of the public.
