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.
