At least three people were injured, one of them critically, when a private bus rammed passengers waiting at a bus stop in Kerala's Thrissur. 

CCTV footage shows three women waiting at the bus stop around noon on Saturday, holding umbrellas, since it was raining. The bus can be seen driving straight at high speed and then veering towards the women - who try and run out of its path - and crashing into them.

A policeman standing on the other side of the road puts his hand on his head in shock while some other people can be heard screaming. The policeman points to the driver of the bus, who runs away. Some people are seen chasing him.

An official said the bus driver is yet to be caught and the injured have been hospitalised. The condition of one of them is critical.

About The Campaign

NDTV in partnership with UBER is launching a sustained campaign 'Roshan Dilli'  to try and raise safety standards in India's capital, New Delhi.

Our focus is to try and improve lighting in public spaces in the city. Lighting is a key factor in shaping women's perceptions of safety

The initiative will provide a platform for all stakeholders to discuss our goal of improving safety standards, to start a conversation about safety of women in the country

It will also highlight various interventions and solutions that help to make women safe and put the spotlight on what more can be done.

The campaign will accentuate the need for Safety to be a shared responsibility

The need for gender sensitization and how law enforcement and civil society through checks and education can try and make women safer

We hope you will join us and help make New Delhi a safer city for women.
