Himachal
In Mandi district of Himachal Pradesh, a family has broken a mountain of sorrows. On Tuesday, a person died after being swept away in a ravine in Jarol area of Road Panchayat of Saraj Development Block. The accident occurred when 63 -year -old Purna Chand was crossing a temporary wooden culvert. This is another major setback for the family, as he lost another member of his member in the floods on June 30 shortly ago.
Painful death due to falling in a ravine
Purna was returning from the market on Tuesday evening. While crossing a temporary wooden culvert on the road rash, his leg slipped and he was swept away. There was no security railing on the culvert, causing this accident to become even more frightening. He suffered severe head injuries due to the fast flow of about 100 meters. The locals immediately tried to save them and took them out of the ravine by creating a human chain, but by then it was too late. He was taken to Civil Hospital Janjhali, where doctors declared him dead.
The family was already trying to overcome the tragedy of the horrific floods of June 30. In that disaster, Purna Chand’s younger brother Surendra died after being buried in the debris due to the collapse of the house in the Ghasanu market. Now the painful death of elder brother Purna Chand has completely broken the family. Purna Chand is left behind by two sons and a scattered family.
Allegations of resentment and negligence among villagers
Since this incident, the local people have a lot of anger towards the administration. He says that the temporary wooden culvert by the administration after the disaster was extremely insecure. There was no railing for security on the culvert, due to which the accident occurred. Local resident Rohit Thakur has demanded that a permanent and safe bridge be constructed at the road rash so that such accidents do not happen in future. Ram Krishna, the station in -charge of Janjhali, has confirmed this tragic accident and told that further investigation is being done by registering the case.
