Mandya: A KSRTC bus traveling from KR Pet to Manikanahalli got stuck in a trench dug as part of the Jal Jeevan Mission project on Wednesday evening in Manikanahalli village. The incident disrupted local traffic, as other vehicles were unable to pass through the narrow road.
Villagers promptly arranged for an excavator to pull the bus out of the trench. They expressed frustration over what they termed as poorly planned and unscientific excavation work under the Jal Jeevan Mission, holding it responsible for the mishap.
Fortunately, no injuries were reported, but the villagers called for stricter oversight of public works to avoid similar incidents in the future.
