PONDA: Even as Ponda Police has registered an offence against the bus driver involved in the mishap that claimed the life of a lecturer, residents of Konem have raised fears over a possible threat to natural water resources due to a diesel leakage from the tanker.

It may be recalled that a speeding Ponda-bound passenger bus collided with a tanker loaded with diesel along the highway at Konem near Farmagudi Police outpost on Wednesday evening.
