BENGALURU: Utterly ravaged and heartbroken by the sudden loss, the family members of Tejaswini Sulakhe and Vihan Sulakhe, who passed away after the reinforcement structure of the Metro pillar crashed on them at HBR Layout on Tuesday, were sad.

The family had actually moved to a recently bought flat in a house at Kalkere in Horamavu simply three months ago.TimesViewPotholes, bad stretches, open manholes, insufficient pipeline work and recklessly driven vehicles are what Bengalureans generally keep an eye out for when on the roadway.

Now, they will have to be wary when passing Metros building and construction sites too.

Metro lines are being built on arterial roadways to minimize land acquisition costs but that does not imply the safety of motorists and road users need to be jeopardized.

BMRCL should accelerate its work, but safety must be a top concern.

Bengaluru deserves better.Vijay Kumar Sulakhe, a retired commissioner of Gadag Urban Development Authority, and his partner Nirmala had actually come to Bengaluru a couple of days ago to hang around with their grandchildren however ended up seeing the death of Vihan and his mom before they might return home.Vijay and Nirmala had bid bye-bye to their grandchildren at 9.30 am and were anticipating their return by 1.30 pm.

Within a few minutes, Vijay received a call from his kid Lohith at 10.10 am.

My child called me over the phone, saying they had met with an accident and I rushed to the healthcare facility.

I was shocked to discover that my daughter-in-law and grandson had actually passed away.

The passiveness of authorities cost the lives of my member of the family.

What if more individuals were impacted in the incident? I was informed that a bus with a number of travelers in it had actually just gone by prior to the structure collapsed.

I will battle against errant officials for their carelessness, stated Vijay.Lohith and Tejaswini, who was from Gadag, got wed in 2017 and were residing in Bengaluru since then.

My grand son would go to me calling me Ajji (grandma) whenever.

He used to happily show us the images of him and his sister on his moms and dads mobiles.

Who will reveal that much love towards me? rued Nirmala, who was sitting outside Dr BR Ambedkar Medical College - & Hospital mortuary.She stated her daughter-in-law had dreamt a lot about the future of her children.

She used to state the kids would find out socialising with others if they sign up with preschool.

The kids joined preschool 10 days back, Nirmala said.

She was sorry for not asking her kid and daughter-in-law not to send the kids so early to preschool.Police handed over the bodies to the household after post-mortem in the evening.Many netizens took to Twitter to vent their ire.
