Safety first

By our correspondents

There are a large number of buses in the country that are using two or more cylinders that do not have the mandatory manufacturing and expiry dates written on them. These cylinders are kept inside buses and when a bus is crowded, passengers at times sit on these naked cylinders.

In addition, drivers and their managers also do not keep the record of the validity of these cylinders. Having a gas cylinder inside a bus is extremely dangerous since it carries a risk of explosion. The relevant authorities must keep a check on these buses. They should take proper measures for the safety of the people.
