Tour, Apr 28: In a tragic turn of events, Garo Hills has been rattled by two devastating accidents involving dumpers within a short span of time. The first incident resulted in a 14-year-old girl losing one of her legs, and now, another victim is fighting for his life in a hospital in Tura.
The community is left questioning why these dumpers are allowed to operate during daylight hours without stricter oversight from state authorities. The anguish deepens as families face the consequences of these accidents, which have robbed promising futures from the region.
While concerns are raised about teenage driving, including two-wheelers, there is a parallel discussion about parental responsibility in ensuring their children’s safety, such as insisting on helmet use. In addition, there are calls for increased vigilance from traffic police to enforce helmet laws and penalize offenders.
Authorities are urged to take immediate action, regulating the timing of heavy trucks and dumpers, particularly in areas with narrow roads. Proper signage and speed limits are emphasized to prevent such tragedies from occurring again.
The fate of the young victim from Tura hangs in the balance, as the community hopes for a recovery and demands swift measures to prevent further accidents in the future.
