Burdwan,
16 May. 04 : A seventeen year old boy ran over by a
bus this morning at Kurmuna-Chandanpur village near Galsi . Today at around
8.05 am a speeding bus crashed him at National Highway. The
boy Sk. Rafikul of Choknola village under Galsi PS , died on the
spot. The killer Burdwan-Barakar rout bus (WB41 6869) surrendered immediately
to Galsi police station. Police arrested the bus
driver. And after this accident local people blocked the NH-2. Busy National Highway traffic became
paralysed for few hours.
The
local agitators have been demanding an 'under-way' which was
promised by Gamuda company. The Gamuda company is constructing GT
road on behalf of National Highway Authority for a long time. So
many accidents happened in this zone in recent time. And in every
time Gamuda assured local people to construct 'under-way' below
the GT Road. But they did'nt kept their promise and accident
prolonged. A local resident Chandan Das told very irritably "
we will not give more time to construct under-way, they are not in
position to consider our life threat." at the time of road
blocking.
In
an another incident, a man Benu Birbanshi (35) died last night. Around 10 pm a
truck squashed him at National Highway
near Pursha.
