Former BJP MLA Sangeet Som visits Saharanpur victims of the fatal tractor-trolley collision involving devotees.
Former BJP MLA Sangeet Som arrived in Saharanpur to visit those injured and offer condolences to the families devastated by a horrific road accident in Deoband. The tragedy occurred when a canter truck collided violently with a tractor-trolley carrying devotees who were returning from the Mata Shakumbhari Devi shrine.
A Deeply Tragic Loss for Kushawali Village
The accident has sent shockwaves through the local community, particularly in Sangeet Som's own village. Speaking about the incident, the former legislator described the event as profoundly tragic, revealing that four individuals from his village, Kushawali, lost their lives in the collision.
The emotional weight of the accident was heightened by the nature of the devotees' journey. Som noted that the victims were returning while carrying the 'jyot' (sacred flame) of the Goddess, making the sudden loss even more difficult for the families to bear.
Medical Response and Victim Status
Upon his arrival, Som visited the victims currently admitted to the district hospital. While many are receiving care, the situation remains critical for several individuals. To ensure they receive the necessary level of expertise, some of the most seriously injured victims have been referred to Meerut for specialized medical treatment.
The former MLA highlighted the following regarding the ongoing medical efforts:
- Critical Care: The most severely injured have been moved to Meerut for advanced medical attention.
- Local Support: Efforts are being made to ensure all other injured persons receive high-quality care at the district hospital.
- Administrative Oversight: Local administrative officials and health department teams are actively monitoring the medical response to the victims.
A Call for Collective Support
Sangeet Som expressed his sincere hope for the speedy recovery of those fighting for their lives. He emphasized that in this moment of immense grief, it is a collective responsibility for the community and authorities to stand by the affected families and provide the support they need to navigate this devastating loss.
