The private bus heading to Pavagada not only had people heading to work, but also many students.
Many of the injured students, some of whom have sustained multiple fractures, are worried about their board examinations and have appealed to the Government to make concessions. While the Class X SSLC exam is scheduled to begin at the end of the month, the ii PU exams will commence on April 22.
At Tumakuru district hospital, eight students [two girls and six boys] are in pre-university colleges and worried about their academic future. “They have been discussing their apprehensions about the examination. Among the two girls, one suffered a non-displaced fracture and the other fractured her clavicle. Though they are on the mend, it will take them six weeks to recover. The boys have tissue-related injuries,” district surgeon Veerabhadraiah said.
