Committee formed in August 2023 to study canal safety measures, but report status unknown
Mandya: While officials and elected representatives conveniently ignored the 2018 Kanaganamaradi (Pandavapura taluk) bus accident that claimed 30 lives when a speeding bus plunged into the Visveswaraya Canal (VC), the Mandya Deputy Commissioner (DC), Dr. Kumara formed a committee in August 2023 to oversee the construction and maintenance of retaining walls or crash barriers along canals, including the VC Canal and lake bunds in the district.
