Govt to help road accident victim’s family: Dhaliwal

While visiting family of the farmer, who died in an accident between his tractor-trailer and a bus on the bridge of Sakki Nullah last evening, Cabinet Minister Kuldeep Singh Dhaliwal assured his kin of all help from the state government.

Dhaliwal said that the government would provide ample compensation for the loss of life of 42-year-old Baljit Singh. Dhaliwal said he visited the accident spot when he came to know about the mishap.

“The bridge on the nullah is narrow and has to be widened so that such accidents do not occur in the future,” said Dhaliwal. He said Baljit was the only earning member of the family. After him, his family needs help, the minister said.
