Hey there, folks! It’s been a rough day in Junnar, Pune, as a tragic accident shook the small village of Gulunchwadi. Picture this: a speeding truck from Ahmednagar crashes into people on their way back from a funeral, leaving three dead and eight to ten seriously injured. It’s a heartbreaking scene that unfolded this morning on the Kalyan-Ahmednagar Highway.
The truck didn’t just stop at one collision – it went on to hit several vehicles, causing chaos and destruction along the highway. Reports suggest that the driver lost control, setting off a chain of events that led to this devastating accident. The injured have been rushed to a nearby hospital in Ale Phata, where they are receiving urgent medical attention.
As the news spread, the Ale Phata police arrived at the scene, only to be met with angry villagers who are demanding justice. The locals are up in arms, protesting on the highway and calling for a bypass to be built. They claim that the current highway passing through Gulunchwadi is a death trap, with accidents happening far too often. The villagers are not backing down, warning that their protest will continue until the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) takes responsibility for the deaths.
The situation escalated as the highway was blocked for over two hours, causing a massive traffic jam in both directions. The police, led by Assistant Police Inspector Sunil Badgujar, tried to calm the villagers down. But the residents were adamant – they wanted NHAI officials on the scene to address their concerns. They are fed up with the lack of action despite their repeated requests for a safer bypass.
It’s a tense situation in Junnar, with emotions running high and the villagers determined to seek justice for the lives lost in this tragic accident. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story.
