As Olympians set and break records in various sports events, as India watches with bated breath and exhales slowly - sometimes contented and mostly disappointed but not very surprised - Chennai is making records of another sort. Children are slipping through holes in school vans. They are coming under the wheels of the vans they just got off from. Why, a tiny tot managed to come out of the house and place its head under the wheel when the unsuspecting mother was seeing her elder ones off and the driver didn't notice this new addition to the road!
Not one incident in a blue moon. Three reported in three days. How many not reported? How many injuries not worth reporting?
Do we need tragedies to rouse us and pay attention to safety norms? How long before we are lulled back to complacency?
