A series of road accidents involving overloaded vehicles is putting workers’ lives in danger in Gadwal district. Just a day after an accident in Jammichedu, another similar crash took place near Kishtapuram village in Aija Mandal on Tuesday.
In this latest incident, a passenger auto carrying laborers overturned, leaving several people injured. Among them, three suffered serious injuries, while eight others had minor wounds. The injured were quickly taken to Gadwal District Hospital for treatment.
This accident follows another mishap on Monday in Jammichedu, where an auto overturned, critically injuring five people and leaving ten others with minor injuries. Before the district could recover from that tragedy, a Bolero vehicle also overturned in Kishtapuram, raising serious concerns about road safety.
Every day, many workers travel in overloaded Boleros and autos, often exceeding their safe capacity. Despite repeated accidents, authorities have not taken strong action to stop this problem. The lack of proper monitoring and enforcement of safety rules continues to put lives at risk.
