Diglipur, Nov 06: Sri Krishna Halder, who fell under the rear tyres of a tipper yesterday at Diglipur, succumbed to injuries this morning. Sri Krishna Halder along with his friend Asheem were crushed yesterday by the tipper when they lost control of their speedy bike near a blind turning close to APWD Workshop at Diglipur, and came under the rear tyres. The condition of Asheem, the second victim, is still said to be serious.
When Andaman Sheekha team visited the spot it was found that the said turning is highly accident prone. Due to opening of new RCC Bridge on Kalpong and presence of Hospital, the utilization of the road increased manifold since last one year.
According to residents of the area due to presence of an old dilapidated APWD Barrack at the edge of the blind turning, it becomes totally impossible to see whether any vehicle is coming from the other side. This is the reason why nearly dozens of minor accidents have already been reported from the said area.
Residents of Diglipur now demand immediate demolition of the barrack for the safety of public in Diglipur region.
