In Uttar Kannada two things happened which should be prevented and can be prevented by the people. The first instance is that once a bus has been overturned on the road. The surrounding peoples try to evacuate the bus of the passengers. But one woman was stranded between the road and the bus. The local people try to lift the bus with their own hand and they were successful but when the bus overturns this resulted in killing of at least 10 people.
Another instance is that the odd even vehicle policy which is adopted by the the government of Delhi has been very much in official because of the rich economic condition of Delhi citizens for which in a house they have more than two vehicles and these vehicles one vehicle may have an odd number and another vehicle may have an even number. Thus this policy was a failure.
