Amritsar: In a tragic road accident that claimed several lives and left scores of passengers injured, two Punjab government-operated pilgrimage buses collided on National Highway-54 near Naushehra Pannuan in Tarn Taran district on Saturday evening. The accident involved buses operating under the state government’s Mukh Mantri Tirath Yatra Scheme, turning a religious journey into a scene of devastation and grief.

According to initial reports, the collision occurred when the driver of one bus reportedly attempted to avoid a motorcycle, lost control of the vehicle, crossed the road divider and crashed into another bus approaching from the opposite direction. The impact badly damaged both vehicles, trapping passengers inside the mangled structures. Local residents, police personnel and emergency response teams rushed to the spot to assist in rescue operations.

There were discrepancies in the initial casualty figures reported by different agencies. Subsequent reports confirmed that four people had died and 18 were injured, while some later updates reported that another injured person had succumbed to injuries. The victims included pilgrims travelling in the buses and a woman riding pillion on a motorcycle. Several injured passengers were shifted to Guru Nanak Dev Hospital in Amritsar for specialised medical attention.


Against this backdrop, a delegation of Aam Aadmi Party leaders visited Guru Nanak Dev Hospital in Amritsar to meet the injured passengers and assess their medical condition. AAP Punjab Working President and MLA Sherry Kalsi led the delegation, accompanied by MLAs Inderbir Singh Nijjar, Ajay Gupta, Amolak Singh and Jeevan Jyot Kaur.

The legislators personally met patients admitted to the hospital, enquired about their health and sought information regarding the treatment being provided to them. Their visit focused on understanding the condition of those injured in the collision and the medical arrangements being made for their recovery.

The leaders also interacted with the hospital authorities and medical staff to obtain updates on the treatment of the accident victims. With some passengers requiring specialised care, the visit brought attention to the need for continuous medical supervision and timely treatment.

The accident has raised serious concerns over road safety, particularly when multiple passenger vehicles operate on busy highways. The circumstances surrounding the collision, including the reported attempt to avoid a motorcycle and the subsequent crossing of the road divider, will require detailed investigation to establish the sequence of events and responsibility.

The Mukh Mantri Tirath Yatra Scheme provides eligible residents, particularly senior citizens, an opportunity to undertake religious journeys with transport and other facilities arranged by the Punjab Government. The tragedy has cast a shadow over the initiative, making the safety of pilgrims and the operational standards of vehicles an important matter of public concern.

For the families of those killed and injured, the immediate priority remains support, medical care and recovery. The visit by the AAP legislators reflected the party leadership’s engagement with the injured at a time when the victims and their families are coping with the consequences of the devastating accident.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
