Kolkata: Mini-bus accident on the Red Road on Thursday, where Vivekananda Deb lost his life, could be caused by the negligence of the driver or mechanical failure of the disuse for the last 45 days, police said.
So many people on the bus were injured because the chairs were fixated from the floor of the vehicle and the passengers were thrown hard ahead.
Also, the mini-bus driver was in a hurry, given 89 cases of violations of traffic rules have been recorded on private operators in 15 months that have been operating, police said.
Bus manufacturers, who viewed photos of the bus interior after the accident, said the injury to the vehicle could not have the bus installed by the factory instead of the chassis, where the body fabrication was equipped with weak welding and screws.
“The bus is now produced not separate.
The bodywork that was not even done at the right workshop was destroyed in its impact,” said a bus manufacturing company executive.
Those in the industry show that the accident might occur due to mechanical failure, caused by a parked bus for more than one and a half months or because of poor maintenance due to lack of income.
“A owner must spend at least Rs 15,000-rs 20,000 to make a feasible idle bus road.
Some problems occur when a bus does not operate for days.
Brake shoes can be jammed, constant puddles can damage the tire.
Lubricants need to be changed.
Even service The base is necessary.
This mini bus is one of three vehicles on the Metiabruz-Howrah route that operates as other people not ready to ply, “said Pradip Narayan Bose from the association of the owner of Bengal Bengal Bengal.
Transport experts agree that the bus, which remains parked for one and a half months under the sky, on the streets flooded, will always falter on the road and may cause danger to people, regardless of the driver, conductor, and passengers themselves.
“After suspension of movement for the past one and a half months, the tire should lose the power that gripped.
These buses need to undergo a fitness test before crashing into the road.
Otherwise accidents in the mini-bus near the gate of Fort William East will recur,” said Prabir Bose, A car engineer expert.
Also, if the fuel injector is clogged, the axle can escape and disaster accidents can occur, even the vehicle can change the turtle, he said.
Three things must be examined very carefully before allowing the bus to reach the road – fuel injector, piston engine, brakes and tires, added Bose.
Shapan Ghosh, Secretary with the Minibus operator coordination committee, disagrees.
“The owner, Khurshid Alam from Metiabruz, has years of experience and maintains his fleet well.
This is a new bus that is almost seven months.
My theory is that it is a driver’s fault.
While turning left to Dufferin Road at high speed, he saw The motorbike at the last moment.
He then hit the hard brake and lost control, “said Ghosh.
