Bandi Sanjay issues statement
Union minister and Karimnagar MP Bandi Sanjay Kumar issued a statement on X regarding the accident, in which he expressed concern over bus accidents in the state.
“The series of bus accidents is deeply troubling to me.
The bus–tractor collision that occurred early this morning near the Renukunta bridge in Thimmapur mandal of Karimnagar district is tragic. Upon learning of the incident, I immediately spoke over the phone with District Collector Pramela Satpathy, as well as doctors from the government hospital and police officials. I instructed them to ensure the best possible medical treatment for the injured and to shift them to Hyderabad if necessary. I also expressed complete readiness to provide any assistance needed in this matter.
Fifteen passengers travelling in a bus belonging to the Metpalli depot were injured, and I pray to the Almighty for their speedy recovery.
At least now, the state government must focus special attention on road safety and conduct dedicated awareness programmes for the public,” he said on X.
