Unmanned crossing claims motorist’s life
Jalandhar, June 15 The victim, owner of a grocery shop based in the Karol Bagh locality here, was heading to his shop in his Maruti car at around 1.30 p.m. Probably, he could not notice the approaching train due to a blind curb while crossing the unmanned crossing No 3-C. The train hit the car and dragged it against a wall along the rail line, resulting in the death of Mehta. As the news of the death of Vikrant Mehta spread, residents of adjoining localities - Abadi Mohalla and Chaugitti - converged on the accident spot and started raising slogans against the railway authorities. They alleged that the unmanned level crossing had turned into an accident-prone area due to the negligence of the railway authorities. A section of the protesters alleged that the railway authorities had replaced the manned crossing at the place with an unmanned one about 10 years back. The protesters also stopped a goods train carrying liquid fuel and pelted it with stones. The brewing up tension subsided when ATM Baldev Singh emerged on the spot and assured the residents that a properly manned level crossing would be set up at the place within two months. Residents lifted the dharna and the rail traffic was resumed after about an hour when they elicited a written assurance from the ATM.
