The condition of Bengal's highways is terrible. Just last month there was a similar accident in Nadia district. When will the government prioritize road maintenance?

Saw the photos on local news channels. The bus was completely mangled. Driver must have been speeding on that curve. We need stricter enforcement of traffic rules!

As someone who frequently travels this route, I can confirm the roads are dangerous. But the bigger issue is the reckless driving culture. People treat buses like race cars!

So many pilgrims returning from Ganga Sagar... what a tragic end to their spiritual journey. The government should provide proper compensation to all affected families.
