The Story in Brief
Times of India reports that a 12-year-old schoolgirl, Kayna Pal, was crushed under the wheels of a DTC bus in East Delhi's New Ashok Nagar around 8am on Friday. She was on her way to school, riding pillion on a scooter with her uncle when the bus hit them. She fell under the bus and died on the spot.
Kayna was a Class 8 student at a government school in Khichripur. Her father, Aman Pal, said she was travelling with her younger brother. Police have apprehended the bus driver. An investigation is underway.
The Indian Opinion
Every tragic accident reignites calls for stricter traffic enforcement, but stray incidents lack the context of road design, driver behaviour and pedestrian discipline. In this case, the bus driver's arrest is a start, but the real test will be whether the investigation reveals a pattern of reckless driving on that route or a systemic failure in DTC's safety protocols. The number of such incidents in East Delhi this year will settle whether this is an isolated case or a crisis.
