Second-year MBBS student of Karnataka Medical College dies after truck rams her scooter

Locals complained that she wouldn't have died if the road was in motorable condition. "It's the mistake of authorities, in the name of smart city's roads are been brought in to unmotorable conditions," said one of the local residents.

Police said that the driver has been charged with suitable charges and officials will also be held accountable after the investigation.

BBMP Commissioner Manjunath Prasad said that the incident came to his notice and an investigation will be done in the incident., reports ANI.

Times Now reports that for the past few months, people have been protesting against the poor condition of roads not just in the central business district but also in outer zones where roads have been dug up for laying of facilities.

A resident told the daily, "Many people are dying and getting injured due to potholes, which are a fallout of civic negligence. We appeal to BBMP and cops to act."

"The girl would not have died had BBMP ensured the road was in a motorable condition and motorists needn't swerve to the extreme ends to avoid potholes or bad stretches," another resident told TOI.
