Student who died in Pattanagere wasn’t stopped at metro FOB over face mask: BMRCL
The Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) has denied that it contributed in any way to the fatal road accident under the Pattanagere metro station overbridge on February 2.
A 20-year-old college student was run over by a car while crossing the busy Mysuru Road that day.
Chaitanya Ganesh, a BE student from RV College of Engineering who lives in the hostel across the road, claimed that the BMRCL “indirectly contributed” to the accident by insisting that pedestrians using the metro overbridge wear facemasks.
He said many pedestrians avoid using the overbridge because they do not carry facemasks and thus risk their lives by crossing the busy road.
