A Pune Mahanagar Parivahan Mahamandal Ltd (PMPML) bus driver was caught watching a TV show on his mobile phone while driving, endangering passengers’ lives. The incident, captured in a viral video, has sparked outrage among Pune residents, who are demanding immediate action against the driver.
The video shows the driver wearing earphones, placing his mobile on the dashboard, and watching a TV show while navigating the city’s congested roads. Passengers, unaware of the reckless behavior, were at serious risk. One alert commuter noticed the act, recorded the video, and shared it on social media, leading to widespread criticism of PMPML’s safety protocols.
Pune’s heavy traffic already poses challenges, and such negligence by bus drivers raises serious concerns about passenger safety. The question now arises—will traffic police and PMPML authorities take action against the driver? Commuters are urging strict measures to prevent such incidents in the future.
Following the Swargate incident, Pune Municipal Corporation has been implementing new safety measures, including deploying security personnel for female students traveling by bus. However, this recent event highlights the need for stricter monitoring and accountability among bus drivers.
