The Story in Brief
Three members of a family were killed and two injured when a tractor-trailer overturned on the Kachwa-Bahlolpur road in Karnal on Wednesday. The deceased, Abrar Khan, 28, his brother Khalid, 24, and their uncle Fazru, 55, were from Shamli district in Uttar Pradesh. Police said the tractor became unbalanced while being taken empty to load wheat straw.
Local residents alleged that multiple potholes on the road have caused earlier accidents too, yet no repairs have been done. ASI Karambir Singh of Karnal police said the bodies have been sent for post-mortem. One of the injured is in serious condition with a broken leg.
The Indian Opinion
Residents blame potholes; police say the tractor was unbalanced. Both sides may be right, but the real failure is that no repairs were done despite previous accidents on the same stretch. A road that kills repeatedly is a policy failure, not just a driving error. The question now: will the local administration act before the next body arrives?
