The Mangaluru South Traffic Police on Wednesday seized a private service bus and charged the driver with rash and negligent driving, even as he averted hitting a woman crossing the road at Thoudugoli on Tuesday.
A video of a CCTV camera grab going viral on social media brought the incident to light.
The bus, bearing the name Gopalakrishna and plying on the Mudipu-State Bank route via Thoudugoli, was seen being driven at a high speed at the Thoudugoli Cross.
Unmindful of the approaching bus, a woman was seen crossing the main road in the video. The bus driver was seen swerving the vehicle to the left and braking suddenly to avoid hitting her. The woman thereafter was seen walking unhurt.
While many on social media blamed the woman for her reckless action in crossing a main road, many also praised the presence of mind of the driver in bringing the bus to a halt. However, many also questioned the way the vehicle was being driven on a narrow road in the village and the driver blaring the horn.
City Police Commissioner Kuldeep Kumar R. Jain said cases under rash and negligent driving (Section 279 IPC) and rash and negligent act endangering human life (Section 336 IPC) were booked against the driver by the South Traffic Police. The police also removed the horn from the bus.
When fed into Latin, pusilla comes out denoting “very small”. The Baillon’s crake can be missed in the field, when it is at a distance, as the magnification of the human eye is woefully short of what it takes to pick up this tiny creature. The other factor is the Baillon’s crake’s predisposition to present less of itself: it moves about furtively and slides into the reeds at the slightest suspicion of being noticed. But if you are keen on observing the Baillon’s crake or the ruddy breasted crake in the field, in Chennai, this would be the best time to put in efforts towards that end. These birds live amidst reeds, the bulrushes, which are likely to lose their density now as they would shrivel and go brown, leaving wide gaps, thereby reducing the cover for these tiddly birds to stay inscrutable.
