He was returning to Koharianwali village from his office. The body was handed over to the family after a post-mortem examination on Saturday. People said the administration had ignored blatant violation of traffic rules. Straw-laden vehicles carrying hundreds of bales, exceeding the prescribed limit, can be seen plying on roads here daily.

In a separate incident, a labourer engaged for dismantling a house along the Defence Road, also known as the Abohar-Killianwali road, died after coming into contact with a high-voltage overhead power transmission line. He was identified as Shakti Singh (23), a resident of the Govt Seed Farm road area.
