Instead of putting basic safety rules in place and enforcing their compliance, the Govt finds it much easier to offer ex-gracia payments that are useless to passengers who are dead.
An ex-gratia of Rs. 2 lakh from PMNRF would be given to the next of kin of each of the deceased due to the bus fire in Nashik. The injured would be given Rs. 50,000: PM @narendramodi

Now whose turn is it?
Winds of change, @narendramodi 's friend @ScottMorrisonMP also voted out in Australia although he cooked Modi's favourite Khichdi to get #Australian Indian Votes. Earlier, Modi's good friend @Trump whom he endorsed was voted out in USA.

Or maybe an entire generation of State DOTs traditionalists are the problem and evolving or evicting them is the solution

Strangely, Meard Street has survived for hundreds of years without being wide enough for a full size fire engine to turn around in
Why then are trees the first victims of road making in many of our cities?
Streets designed for parked and moving vehicles have many costs for society. Urban heat (+ its consequences) can be added to that list!

The Great Pandemic Reset Continues: SF mayor recommends permanently banning cars from a park road pedestrianized in 2020. NYC's Central Park went car-free in 2018. Driving through a park is a personal convenience. A park without cars is a public service. sfchronicle.com/sf/article/S…
