A motorcycle accident ruined the new years for at least three families of Barak Valley. Last night at around 11:30 pm, residents of Ujangram, Borkhola were shocked by the huge impact of a motorcycle on a roadside tree.

Three males were riding on a motorcycle, which according to the locals was on road at a high speed. Two of them died on the spot after the collision with the tree. The third individual was rushed to Silchar Medical College and Hospital (SMCH) where the doctors declared him dead.

“Last year we brought in the new year alongside a dead body and this year too, it is the same. It is our request to the administration, please raid the stores selling liquor illegally along the highway as that’s causing many deaths, especially on occasions like New Year’s Eve,” said a local resident who rushed to the spot to rescue the youth.

Raj Biswas, a resident of Badarpur – Masimpur, Kishan Gurung, a resident of Balighat, Das Colony and third individual who lost his life due to the accident has been identified as Swapan Das, who is a resident of Silchar’s Meherpur area.

It is worth mentioning here that an employee of Department of Agriculture had died due to an accident on the same spot on December 31, 2021.
