Ambulance in Punjab Governor's Convoy Collides with Innova, Two Injured Near SamralaPreviousNext

An ambulance in Punjab Governor Gulab Chand Kataria's convoy collided with an Innova car near Ghulal Toll Plaza, Samrala, injuring two people. The Innova reportedly entered the VIP convoy lane unexpectedly, causing the ambulance driver to brake suddenly and lose control. The injured were hospitalized, with one later transferred to Ludhiana for further treatment. Police and Road Safety Force teams responded promptly, and no fatalities occurred. The Governor was unharmed, and the convoy resumed its journey after the incident.
