The accident took place from Pauri to Dehalchori
On Sunday, a passenger bus going from Pauri to Dehalchori went out of control and fell into a ditch, in which six people died and 22 passengers were injured. After this accident, the injured were taken to Pauri District Hospital. There were no doctors here at that time.
When doctors came to the hospital from nearby health centers, there was no electricity there. The doctors did first aid with mobile torches. Due to this the injured had to face a lot of trouble. After this everyone was referred.
Instructions given to transport departments for investigation
Chief Minister Dhami has also instructed to investigate the causes of bus accidents and take action if any kind of negligence is found on the part of the officers.
The issue of not giving posting was raised before the Additional Chief Secretary
BJP leader Ravindra Jugran met Additional Chief Secretary Anand Bardhan and raised the issue of not giving appointment to six Patwaris, Lekhpals and Revenue Sub Inspectors in Nainital. He said that this is injustice to the candidates because after being selected, these personnel who have received training should have got immediate appointment. This did not happen. Now the candidates are making rounds of Nainital Collectorate and the government. Additional Chief Secretary Anand Bardhan assured Jugran that he will take information on the matter and ensure legal action.
