Jyoti’s teacher, Meenakshi, said the young girl was particularly adventurous and it is difficult to keep her sitting still. The girl was certainly very lucky and fortunate not to get hurt in such a road accident. But the incident calls for parents to be careful and watchful of their kids’ wanderings.
