From Karnataka to Meghalaya, reports continue to surface of villages that lack roads or have yet to reach a bus. Recently, a video surfaced on social media that shocked people. It showed approximately 60 people, including women and children, traveling in a 16-seater jeep.

Like a truck loaded with straw

A shocking video has emerged from the Anandpuri area of ​​Banswara district in Rajasthan. Around 60 passengers were traveling in a 16-seater jeep, packed to the brim, rear, sides, and roof. The video shows elderly people, women, and children risking their lives. Children, women, and men are seen hanging outside the jeep, on the bonnet, roof, stepney, and even in front of the driver's door. Despite so many people sitting in such a dangerous manner, the vehicle was moving at a very high speed. It's clear from the video that the driver has no concern for the safety of the passengers. He can only see out the front window, and everywhere else is packed with people.

Poor public transport system

After the video went viral, complaints began to surface about the state's poor public transport facilities. Social media users demanded that motor vehicle authorities and police seize and fine overloaded vehicles in the area. According to reports, after the video went viral, state transport department officials arrived at the scene and fined the overloaded vehicles. However, it was observed that no one inquired about the travel facilities available to the residents of the area. Reports indicate that there is a severe shortage of public transport, including buses, in this tribal-dominated area. Therefore, people are forced to make such dangerous journeys.
