Concerns over public safety have intensified in Pune, India, following a series of accidents involving buses from Pune Mahanagar Parivahan Mahamandal Limited (PMPML) in just eight days. The most alarming incident occurred on April 21 at Appa Balwant Chowk, where a PMPML bus lost control and crashed into a roadside shop, causing significant property damage but no injuries. This prompted PMPML authorities to suspend the driver, Balu Chavan, and establish an inquiry committee led by co-managing director Alice Pore, tasked with submitting a report within seven days. Just days later, on April 24, another accident occurred at Vanaz Chowk, resulting in a sanitation worker being critically injured after a PMPML bus collided with a stationary garbage collection vehicle due to brake failure. Additionally, a 20-year-old man was detained for allegedly stealing a PMPML bus and driving it recklessly through traffic. The frequency of these incidents has left residents anxious, with commuters expressing fears about the safety of public transport. A senior PMPML official acknowledged the seriousness of the situation, stating that investigations are ongoing and that measures will be taken to enhance driver monitoring and maintenance checks to ensure safety.
