VENKOLLA: K B Ganesh Kumar made a timely intervention to avoid a mishap that could have happened due to the carelessness of a JCB driver at a high range in Venkolla on Thursday.

The Hitachi JCB driver was carrying out some road related work. From the video, Ganesh and locals can be heard saying that the driver carelessly rotated the JCB handle at 360 degree in full speed, which could have injured or killed people standing near it.

When the locals tried to block and manhandle him, he jumped out of the JCB brandishing a lever in an attempt to assault the locals. It was at this moment Ganesh Kumar, who was passing by in his car, stepped in and prevented a clash between the locals and the JCB driver.

Ganesh Kumar called up the JCB owner, making a request to dismiss the driver from service. He also telephoned the police, urging them to book the driver.
