Protest over death in accident

An accident of this nature is not new to locals residing in the nearby MGR Nagar. "At least 40 people have died in a similar way at this spot,"said 58-year-old Asha Singh, a resident.

Frustrated by another death involving youngsters, around 100 senior citizens began an impromptu protest when the police came to investigate the death. "We want the officials to raise the height of the parapet wall of the flyover. It is too low. Speed-breakers should be provided," Singh said.
