The Story in Brief
Six people were killed on Sunday when a container truck crashed into their car in Madhya Pradesh's Dhar district. The collision occurred around 1.30 pm near Panchak Vasa, about 4 km from Badnawar town. The truck was coming from Ujjain. All six occupants of the car died on the spot, said Additional Superintendent of Police Parul Belapurkar. The victims were residents of Gujarat. Police have taken the container truck driver into custody. An investigation is underway.
The Indian Opinion
Politicians and officials will call this a 'tragic accident' and promise stricter enforcement. But roads in MP remain a lottery: overloaded trucks, missing dividers, and speeding on state highways go unchecked until bodies pile up. The test is not today's condolences. Watch whether the truck driver's license and the vehicle's fitness records are actually scrutinised, and whether the local transport office files a chargesheet against anyone besides the driver. If not, this is just another body count.
