Nepal Bus Accident: A very bad news has come for India from the neighboring country Nepal. A bus carrying 40 Indian passengers has met with an accident. This bus from UP was going from Pokhara to Kathmandu. It fell into the Marsyangdi river in Tanahun district of Nepal. So far 14 passengers have died in the bus accident. The accident happened at 11:30 am today.
Let us tell you that when such bus accidents happen, the passengers are given travel insurance. If a passenger dies in the accident or a passenger is seriously injured, such passengers are given insurance money. What do the passengers have to do for this? They have to keep a special thing in mind. Let us tell you.
Insurance money is deducted from the ticket itself
The bus that met with an accident in Nepal was a bus of Uttar Pradesh Roadways. Let us tell you that the passengers travelling in Uttar Pradesh Roadways are given insurance by Uttar Pradesh Roadways. The cost of this insurance is very low. It ranges from one rupee to two and a half rupees. Its money is deducted from the ticket itself. That is, when you buy a ticket to travel.
So during that time you also pay the insurance money. If a bus accident happens in such a case then you get the benefit of insurance. That is, in the accident that happened in Nepal, all the passengers who had bought tickets and became victims of the accident will be provided the insurance money by UP Roadways.
Passengers without tickets will not get insurance
But one special thing about this roadways insurance is that it is given only to those people who have bought tickets. It has been seen many times in India that people start travelling in trains and buses without tickets. But when an accident happens, in such a situation these people suffer double loss.
Because in an accident there is injury and on top of that there is no insurance. That is why a rule has been made that whether it is a bus or train, you should travel only with a ticket. This will ensure that you follow the rules and also in case of such an accident you will not suffer much financial loss because you will get the insurance money.
