On Friday morning last week, Srinivasan was driving CRPF personnel from Agiah to Goalpara in Assam, when his bus ran over a landmine, killing five people.
The casualties could have been far higher had Srinivasan not reacted immediately, driving the damaged bus straight to a hospital some distance away.
The driver himself had shrapnel injuries, but he did not stop, and saved many lives that day. Thirty-three CRPF personnel who were on the bus are now undergoing treatment at a Guwahati hospital. One of them is in critical. condition.
J B Srinivasanin says, "Suddenly the blast took place and the vehicle shook up. I realized what happened and seeing my colleagues injured I just drove straight to the hospital and ensured that they were given first aid"
Srinivasan's battalion has been training in counter-insurgency operations in Goalpara for deployment in Maoist areas.
