Four people were injured when a Delhi Transport Corporation (DTC) bus overturned in Rohini, raising concerns about the working conditions of bus drivers. DTC buses have been involved in 72 accidents this year, resulting in 19 deaths and 73 injuries. The recent accidents have been linked to drivers' health issues, including some drivers being found intoxicated while on duty. Drivers have called for stricter inspections and pre-trip checks to ensure driver fitness. DTC managing director has asked Tata Motors, which provides drivers for electric buses, to conduct health checks and eliminate drivers with health issues.
