Punjab Villagers Protest Over Emergency Response Delays in Two Fatal Road Incidents
Two separate incidents in Punjab sparked protests over emergency response delays. In Phillaur, a 19-year-old motorcyclist died after an ambulance allegedly failed to arrive promptly, leading villagers to block the road demanding accountability. In Faridkot, residents and families of two women killed in a hit-and-run accused police of shielding the accused driver, protesting the delay in arrest and threatening further roadblocks. Both protests highlight community concerns over public safety and law enforcement responsiveness.
