Telangana Bus-Lorry Crash Exposes Deadly Mix of Poor Roads and Reckless Driving
The tragic bus-lorry collision on November 3 between Chevella and Manneguda on NH-163, which claimed 19 lives, highlights the deadly combination of poor road conditions and reckless driving. Locals, commuters, and road safety experts have long warned that this stretch is a “death corridor” due to narrow lanes, potholes, inadequate signage, and heavy traffic. Analysts note that accidents here are often compounded by driver negligence, overspeeding, and poor enforcement of safety regulations. The recent crash is not an isolated incident but part of a disturbing pattern of fatalities on this highway. Road safety advocates stress the urgent need for structural improvements, stricter vehicle inspections, and public awareness campaigns to prevent further tragedies. Authorities have promised investigations and remedial measures, but experts say sustained action and accountability are crucial to make this route safer for daily commuters and reduce the recurring loss of lives.
