Sector 18: An over speeding school bus ran over a person near the Sector 18 metro station on Thursday afternoon, killing him instantly.
Angry shopkeepers and passersby blocked the road and got into a scuffle with the police who had to use force to dispel the crowd.
The incident took place around four in the afternoon. Ram Chander, a resident of Goda, was carrying water on his trolley when a school bus carrying students of Ramagya Public School ran over him.
The bus driver Mahesh tried to flee but was caught by onlookers and thrashed mercilessly. Sector 20 Police arrested the driver and tried to calm the protesting mob.
However, things got ugly when the angry mob demanded the removal of heavy vehicles off the atta road. The Police had to resort to lathicharge to dispel the crowd and restore order.
To avoid major road blocks, the traffic police also had to divert traffic from Sector 37- Rajnigandha towards Great India Place Mall.
Metro services on all four lines will be available only after 2 p.m on Monday due to the festival of Holi.
DMRC also declared that apart from the curtailment of the metro train services, metro feeder bus services will not be available for the whole day.
With change in weather, one tends to catch colds – and fast! There’s nothing more annoying than a blocked nose which forces you to breathe through your mouth. Here’s how to get relief in a jiffy!
Go into the bathroom, switch on the geyser and draw water into a bucket once the waters hot. Put a towel over your head, and lean over the bucket, keeping your head about 6 inches above it. Then, inhale the steam.
Tip: Pour a few drops of eucalyptus oil into the bucket. The vapors reduce inflammation and clear sinuses and congestion.
Drink jethimadh (licorice) tea. Licorice root is an expectorant that breaks up mucus in the nose and the lungs, so you’ll breathe more easily.
Snort a saline rinse. Available at drug stores, it’s proven more effective than medicated nasal sprays. It not only clears the nasal passages, but reduces inflammation.
Tip: You can make your own saline rinse by adding half a teaspoon of table salt and a pinch of baking soda to 8 ounces of warm tap water. Just don’t keep it more than 24 hours.
Eat something with hot peppers. They contain capsaicin, the chemical that makes your nose run when you eat something spicy.
Put some pudina oil, available at health food stores, on a cloth or cotton ball and sniff the vapor. Pudina contains menthol, proven to clear congestion. Or drink hot peppermint tea, inhaling the steam as you drink.
Have some hot chicken soup. This homespun remedy can break up mucus, helping you get over your cold faster.
