The lorry that collided with the KSRTC bus was reportedly illegally transporting sand to Bangalore. Locals say that the tragedy could have been averted had officials stopped the lorry at the sand checkpost. The suspension of four police and revenue officials by the Deputy Commissioner on charges of dereliction of duty, holding them responsible for Monday’s gruesome accident, gives credence to this. People in the region on several occasions have staged protests demanding stringent action against the sand mafia.
