MIDDLE AGED MANGO VENDOR INJURED

Ara, 24 June 2023, (RNI): A mango vendor was injured after being hit by a speeding truck near Jhalkunagar Mor on Koelwar-Doriganj road in Bhojpur district. The locals rushed him to the Koelwar Primary Health Centre but the doctor referred him to the Patna Medical College and Hospital in precarious condition. The injured was identified as Md Badaru 56 son of Md Halim of Kazichak village under Koelwar police station.

Md Badaru was going to Koelwar to sell mangoes on his motorcycle when a speeding sand laden truck hit the motorcycle and injured Md Badaru. After the incident, irate villagers blocked the Koelwar-Chhapara main road and paralyzed movement of vehicles. They demanded compensation for the treatment of the injured and blamed that the police personnel deputed on the Jhalkunagar Check-Post realized money from the sand laden trucks parked on wrong side and then allowed them to go ahead. As the police personnel signaled to go, the drivers moved at great speed that caused frequent accident and claimed lives. The SHO Koelwar police station Avinash Kumar and the CO, Koelwar Sanjay Kumar along with police force rushed to the spot. The blockade could be lifted after positive response of the police officers and the CO.
