Mumbai, Jun 27 (PTI) The Brihanmumbai Electric Supply and Transport (BEST) undertaking on Thursday felicitated seven of its power wing staffers for providing timely help to victims of a school bus accident on JJ flyover a day earlier.
In a release, the civic-run undertaking said the act of these staffers, who were felicitated by assistant general manager (power supply) Bilal Shaikh, was admirable and, in the context of humanity, glorious as well.
A school bus rammed into the railing of JJ flyover in Byculla early Wednesday morning, which led to the vehicle going to the other side of the corridor. A boy and the vehicle’s cleaner were thrown out on impact.
Seven BEST staffers, who were travelling from there at the time of the accident in a temporary power connection vehicle, immediately stopped and rushed the injured boy and the cleaner to nearby state-run GT hospital, the release said.
Staffers Sadu Khateli, Pralesh Chainakhawa, Satish Gawali, Pradip Bhondve, Suryakant Serve, Sandeep Surve and Ananda Medar also helped other students, it added.
In a video that was shot from the upper floor of a nearby building, these staffers can be seen alighting from their vehicle, rushing to help the accident victims and taking them to the hospital. PTI KK BNM
