Carnival floats Parade.. Section III
SORRY, CARNIVAL CELEBRATIONS CANCELLED
DUE TO THE MAJOR TRAGEDY AT ALDONA
Bus plunged into the river, at least 7 dead including school kids
Check this video (from Archive)A bus and the ferry ramp is shown, where ill-fated bus straight went into the river where there was no ferry docked at the time.
Some local sources say, the bus break failed while trying to negotiating turn
Of the dead, there were two sisters, their mother picked them up from the school and put them on the bus and left to pick up her son.
video from archive - The Ramp is seen

What time does it start?
ReplyDeleteAs sad as this news of loss of life is, it appears that it is being used as a political pawn in a power play between the Election Commission of India and the local Goan politicians.

Eventually the Election Commission relented and allowed the Carnival to proceed but without the involvement of politicians and political party sponsored floats:

Looks like Kamat has used this incident to make wine of sour grapes.
