2 killed, 22 injured in accident on Agra-Lucknow expressway
Agra: A UP roadways Volvo bus headed for Lucknow from Agra Fort depot rammed into a stationary truck on the Agra-Lucknow Expressway, early Monday morning, killing two and injuring more than 20 passengers.
The ill-fated bus hit the truck from the rear side at a fairly good speed, as the driver of the bus failed to see the vehicle in front of it due to dense fog, according to villagers of Sikrara under Fatehabad police station.
The police later shifted all the injured passengers to Agra Medical College and hospital.
Senior officials reached the accident site to oversee rescue operations. The bus fell almost 40 feet below the elevated expressway due to the accident impact, they said.
Villagers told the police that the truck which was grounded due to some technical snags, Sunday evening, should have been shifted to the side, but the patrol party did nothing about it. It was the villagers who heard the screams and rushed to save the passengers.
The RG Marathon Championship Run 2023 in Goa was a testament to inclusivity. Initially resistant to including persons with disabilities, it eventually featured wheelchair and standing categories, thanks to advocates’ efforts. Participants showed exceptional determination, emphasizing unity in diversity. Despite challenging weather, they demonstrated the power of community support, highlighting the need for accessibility and inclusion in all state-level events in Goa.
Following the marathon, a gathering of differently-abled individuals, predominantly wheelchair users, convened for a celebratory lunch at Barzilla. The event, orchestrated by Mr. Shariq Khan and Mr. Zain Aftab, proprietors of Barzilla, honored the birthday of Sadaf Fatima, who also uses a wheelchair and is Mr. Shariq Khan’s wife.
The lunch featured esteemed guests including the Tourism Minister of Goa, MLA Rohan Khaunte of Porvorim, Social Welfare Minister Subhash Phal Desai, and the State Commissioner for Persons with Disability in Goa, Guruprasad Pawaskar. The event was impeccably hosted by Ms. Falak Fatima and Mr. Adarsh Parashar, offering activities such as Karaoke and Billiards. The youth of Goa exhibited their unwavering support for the community, making the party an unequivocal success.
