Mishap And Calamity 

Ashmita Paul rode Guwahati to Kashmir to Kanyakumari in her scooty in May - June 2025


A 20-year-old self-defence instructor from Pandu, Ashmita Paul, has entered the India Book of Records by becoming the first woman from Northeast India to complete the maximum-distance solo scooty expedition from Guwahati to Jammu and Kashmir and Kanyakumari. 
The feat has been officially recognized under the title: “Maximum distance covered from Guwahati to J&K and Kanyakumari on a solo scooty expedition by a female.” Ashmita began her journey on May 18, 2025, riding a Yamaha Aerox scooty. Over 27 days, she braved varied terrains and weather conditions, covering 7,234 km before concluding her ride at the southern tip of Kanyakumari on June 13, 2025.  
More than a test of endurance, the expedition carried a message. Aligning with the government’s Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao campaign, Ashmita used the ride to promote girls’ education, empowerment, and self-reliance. “It was not just about setting a record, it was about breaking barriers and showing young girls that nothing is impossible if you have the courage to try,” she said. Despite her age, Ashmita is already among the country’s youngest certified self-defence instructors. 
Her impact has been personal as well. In Gorakhpur, a 13-year-old girl told her that seeing Ashmita gave her the confidence to believe in her own strength. “Even if one girl dares to dream and feels empowered because of my journey, then every struggle I faced was worth it,” Ashmita reflected. Ashmita believes using a scooty as her medium of awareness connects instantly with young girls across India. “Most girls ride a scooty - it’s simple and relatable. When they see me covering thousands of kilometres alone, it inspires them to believe in their own capabilities,” she explained. At just 20, Ashmita Paul is not only setting national benchmarks in endurance and adventure but also emerging as a role model for young women across the country.

Greenline Volvo mishap on Nivedita Setu on 2025-07-07 remains a mystery


The vehicle you see in the attached video is NOT a bicycle or a 125 cc transport bike or an EV Toto rickshaw. This was a Volvo bus built with precision engineering. Volvo buses don't skid even in heavy rains or just for the fun of it.
There was no mechanical failure ..... guaranteed!

The mishap occurred at 12.43 pm on 2025-07-07 on top of Nivedita Setu over Hooghly River while entering Kolkata, barely a km after  the driver of the Greenline owned Volvo bus travelling from Asansol to Kolkata (Karunamoyee) stopped to pay the toll plaza charges. The driver having dozed off can't be an excuse under any circumstances. The driver was either vlogging (making reels himself) or there was some chapri vlogger (of tul-tuley jhore pora kutta meat biryani sellers) who had distracted the driver. There's also a possibility that the driver was speaking on the mobile phone while steering the bus. 

Almost every commercial vehicle driver of trucks, buses, pickup vans) have become great vloggers because they have started aspiring to construct 2 or more houses worth ₹2 crores each with deep state funded YouTube money. It's common road users like you or me who are facing the brunt of irresponsible acts. This was almost certainly a result of vloggers screaming HELLO GUYS, HAI FRIENDS, HUI GUYS, BHALO THAKBEN, AAMAR VIDEO LIKE SHARE SUBSCRIBE KORBEN, NAMASTE FRIENDS, etc, etc, etc. In West Bengal, drivers of Volvo buses have become habitual vloggers, jeopardizing the lives of numerous people. Their numbers are increasing everyday! 

Nobody can fall off from the window of these professionally built luxury buses. The window glasses are toughened glass. Every seat or alternate seats have special pointed hammers to crack the glass in the event of an accident. Breaking open the glass is not easy either. The window glasses are hermetically sealed. The driver of the ill fated Volvo bus must have kept the automatic door on the front left for the passenger to alight at Dakshineshwar immediately after Nivedita Setu. 

Irresponsible reporting by news channels inspired by a queen bee and under the table exchange of money between Greenline owners and a 'gorment' led by a 'symbol of integrity' led to the closure of the case within 48 - 72 hrs.
If I could have met the irresponsible driver, I would have asked him to swear by his children and parents. He would have babbled out the truth. 

Nitin Gadkari, Ministry of Road Transport and Highways, Office of Nitin Gadkari, MORTH, Volvo Buses India please investigate the cause of the mishap suo-moto.
