young man died, was married four months ago. A very sad incident has come to light in Paonta Sahib subdivision of Sirmaur district, where a young man died on the spot after his bike collided with an electric pole standing in the middle of Puruwala-Khari-Badripur road, while his companion was seriously injured. This incident happened on Sunday night and it has once again exposed the gross negligence of the Public Works Department (PWD) and the Electricity Board.
According to the information received, the deceased youth (whose identity is not yet clear, but he is said to be a resident of Bhagwanpur) was returning to his home via Paonta Sahib after finishing masonry work from Santoshgarh with his companion. Due to darkness, they could not see the electric pole standing in the middle of the road and their bike collided directly with it.
The collision was so severe that a young man died on the spot. At the same time, the other youth riding the bike was seriously injured, who is undergoing treatment at the Civil Hospital of Paonta Sahib. This incident is even more painful because the deceased youth had been married only four months ago. A mountain of sorrow has fallen on his family. This is not the first time that an accident has happened on this road due to electric poles. Some time ago, a video of these electric poles standing between Puruwala-Badripur state highway went viral on social media, in which people exposed their dangerous condition. The shocking thing is that two accidents have already happened due to these poles, in which four people were injured. Despite this, the concerned departments did not take any action. At the same time, there is a lot of anger among the local people after this incident.
