NEW DELHI: As many as 787 people have been killed and 2,678 injured in accidents involving Delhi Transport Corporation (DTC) buses in the past 10 years.

According to data available with DTC, 63 persons were mowed down and 184 people injured by its buses between March 2013 to April 2014. During this period, DTC buses were involved in 225 accident cases, of which 33 took place due to rash and negligent driving.

"During 2012-2013, 251 accidental cases were caused by DTC buses, killing 68 people and injuring 229. Of these cases, 39 accidents occurred due to rash and negligent driving..."

"Apart from that, DTC buses killed 77 persons and injured 274, causing 264 accidents in 2011-2012, of which 80 cases took place due to rash and negligent driving," according to the data.

In January this year, 600 DTC drivers, who allegedly had got the job on fake medical fitness certificate, were alleged to be colour blind by the information commissioner M Sridhar Acharyulu.

In an open letter to then chief minister Arvind Kejriwal, Acharyulu had said, "It is alleged that at least 600 have colour blindness and many others suffer from other problems.

Acharyulu further went on to add: "I apprehend (and everyone will agree) that if this is even partly true, the right to life of commuters in Delhi city will be under serious and constant threat until it is ensured that every bus driver is fit enough to drive the vehicle."
