A tragedy unfolded during a community cleanup effort at a school in the remote area of Ra, resulting in the death of a villager in a vehicular accident. The victim was part of a group traveling in a carrier vehicle when a tragic turn of events occurred.

While en route to the school, the carrier made a stop on a steep incline to pick up the deceased from the roadside. In an unfortunate decision, he chose to stand on the rear steps of the vehicle. As the carrier began to roll back, he was thrown off and fell onto the road. There were 15 other villagers in the vehicle at the time of the incident.

Emergency services quickly transported the man to a nearby health center, where he was pronounced dead upon arrival.

This incident serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of safety measures during travel, particularly in rural areas where rugged terrains can pose significant risks. Community members are encouraged to prioritize safety and ensure that all passengers are properly seated and secured in vehicles to prevent such tragedies in the future.

While the loss is deeply saddening, the community’s commitment to coming together for a good cause highlights the spirit of solidarity among villagers. In times of hardship, communities often rally together to provide support and strength to one another.
