EyBisa Posted October 28 Report Posted October 28 A self-styled popular journalist, who is now heading a “great” Telugu television channel, has come out with a strange argument over the recent private bus fire accident at Kurnool, which claimed 20 lives, including that of a bike rider. The “great” journalist held a discussion on his television channel on the bus tragedy involving a private bus operator – Vemuri Kaveri Travels. The participants in the debate tried to analyse the reasons for the accident and how the tragedy could have been averted. But this channel CEO, who also runs the show, suddenly came up with a theory that the main reason for the Kurnool accident is the night travel. He said the accident could have been averted had the private bus operator run the bus during the day time. The broadcast began with a rhetorical invocation of traditional warnings; elders’ advice against sea voyages, ancient injunctions warning certain castes or communities against crossing seas. He then came up with the argument against night travel. The journalist insisted that, whether people accept it or not, “this is the truth”: the bus burned because it was travelling at night. He even urged people to avoid night journeys, arguing that travelling during the day would reduce the risk of accidents. The CEO-turned-news anchor asserted: “Whether he was sleepy or of a certain character, when such a person comes on the road, his karma harms others. That is why elders, governments and officials advise: don’t travel at night. There’s a big difference between night and day driving. That’s why no night journeys.” He argued that the driver of Kaveri Travels bus could have noticed the motorcycle on the road, had it been a day. “Since it was night travel, he did not notice the vehicle and rammed into it, leading to the gory accident,” he saiid. So, his advice is that if passengers practiced caution; staying home at night, boarding morning buses after proper rest and food; lives could be saved, and governments would face less political pressure.

He still has a valid point. Night driving in India is much more dangerous. There is no such thing as a "FREEWAY" in India. Every road can be invaded by any being, whether humans or animals. Roads are also not up to standards, transition between road and bridges is very poor always. How come our civil engineers r incapable of creating a proper grade on the road, I always wonder. Quote
