Youths of Barak Valley often travel to other states in search of work. Borkhola’s Amal Das also went to Mizoram for work; however, yesterday, on January 21, while he was working, due to an accident, 20-year-old Amal Das unfortunately lost his life.

A turn of unfortunate events led to the demise of this young man from Krishna Nagar of Badarpur-Masimpur GP under the Borkhola constituency. According to reports, Amal Das used to work for Bharatia Infra Project Ltd as a mechanic.

A local from Badarpur-Masimpur GP stated that the tyre of the vehicle he was working on fell on him, resulting in his death. They blame the negligence of Amal’s senior for not ensuring the proper safety of the vehicle.
