BRS protest over road expansion in Chevella

A day after 19 lives were lost in the fatal road accident between a TGSRTC bus and a tipper lorry in Chevella mandal, members of Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) led a protest demanding the long-pending request of road expansion on Tuesday, November 4.

Demanding accountability from the Telangana government over consistent delays, former BRS Tandur MLA, Pilot Rohit



Reddy, alleged that the issue has been pending even after funds were sanctioned under the BRS government.

The TGSRTC bus, carrying about 70 passengers, collided with a tipper vehicle laden with crushed concrete at Mirzaguda on Chevella Road. Seventeen bus passengers were crushed and buried under the gravel, leading to their instant deaths. Both drivers also perished.
