Truck Collides with Pilgrim Vehicle Near Etah, One Dead and Six Injured
A truck collided with a tractor-trolley carrying 'kanwariyas' (devotees of Lord Shiva) near Etah on the Mainpuri-Aligarh National Highway around 11:30 pm on Saturday. One pilgrim, Satyapal, died after being critically injured, while six others were hurt and taken to Government Medical College, with Satyapal referred to Saifai for advanced treatment. Locals noted non-functioning street lights on the highway, suggesting poor illumination may have contributed. Authorities are conducting a detailed investigation.
