THE traffic police in general and Regional Transport Officer in particular seem to have turned a blind eye towards the overloading of passenger buses. As a result this menace continues to risk life of passengers in the summer Capital.    Everyday we see how these passenger buses violate the traffic rules and regulations without any fear. They drive the buses according to their own will and wish. Sometimes so fast that passengers get frightened and sometimes so slow that the passengers get so frustrated that they start beating the body of buses, shouting on the driver. But these gestures have no effect on the erring drivers.
 Passengers are packed in buses like  animals. Also, there is no reservation for physically challenged people, women and senior citizens in the buses. The concerned authorities need to wake up and take requisite measures to curb the menace which puts Aam Aadmi to inconvenience.
