Balasore: Death of a youth in a road accident on NH-60 brought traffic to a grinding halt at Phuladi Square under
Sahabkhunta police limits in Balasore district on Wednesday.
The incident took place when a speeding truck rammed the rickshaw of Sheik Nizamuddin, hailing from Ramachandrapur village under Basta police limits in the district.
Locals gathered in large number and staged a road blockade near the accident spot seeking adequate compensation to the family of the deceased.
“The district administration should put in place a proper traffic management system to ensure smooth flow of vehicles on this stretch,” an agitator said.
