Gian Singh, one of the victims
Ludhiana, July 7
Two youths from Punjab died in a road accident in Vancouver, Canada, on Monday night. While one of the victims hailed from Machhiwara town, the other was from Mohali.
The youth from Machhiwara has been identified as Gian Singh Namdhari (22). His father Gurbhagat is a trustee of Garden Valley International School.
Gian and his friend were returning home in a car when he lost control over the vehicle. The car crossed the divider and rammed into a truck coming from the opposite side on the highway.
Gian, who had gone to Canada to pursue higher studies, was to get married in three months. His family had started preparations for the wedding. After the accident, a pall of gloom descended on Machiwara Sahib and Bhaini Sahib. Gurbhagat said the family had been shattered with the death of his son. — TNS
