A day after 26 people died in a tractor-trolley accident in Uttar Pradesh’s Kanpur district, a police station house officer was suspended for alleged “dereliction of duty” while the tractor driver was still absconding.
U.P. Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath met the injured at the hospital and the bereaved families at Kortha village.
The loss of lives in road accidents is a matter of grave concern and the government would launch more awareness programmes on road safety to prevent such tragedies, he said and again appealed to people not to use tractor-trolly to ferry passengers.
