Reasi: A startling incident shook the tranquility of NHPC Jyotipuram Colony as an uncontrolled tempo careened through the entrance gate, leaving chaos and destruction in its wake. The driver, Neelam Singh, attributed the harrowing event to brake failure, narrowly avoiding what could have been a catastrophic accident.
The sequence of events unfolded with alarming speed as the tempo, bearing the license plate JK06 1282, approached the gate from Salal towards Reasi. It collided with the tire killer installed outside the gate, rendering it ineffective in stopping the rogue vehicle. The impact continued as the tempo struck the pillar of the small gate before hurtling through the open entrance, defying any attempts to halt its path.
Fortunately, amidst the chaos, no injuries were reported. The vigilant presence of CISF personnel and a passing motorcycle further added to the stroke of luck that spared lives in this potential disaster. However, the repercussions could have been dire had fate not intervened.
Neelam Singh's account of brake failure underscores the importance of vehicle maintenance and safety protocols. The incident serves as a sobering reminder for all motorists to prioritize regular inspections and upkeep of their vehicles to prevent such incidents from occurring in the future.
