Six young individuals, aged 19 to 24, lost their lives in a devastating car crash in Dehradun after their speeding MUV collided with a container truck. The sole survivor is currently hospitalized in critical condition. The tragic incident has left the city in shock and mourning, prompting calls to address reckless driving.

Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Brajesh Pathak condemned the elaborate preparations made before his visit to the fire-hit Jhansi hospital where 10 newborns died. Pathak criticized the efforts, which included spreading lime powder on the roads, and demanded strict action against those responsible. The opposition criticized the government’s alleged focus on appearances while families grieved, alleging a cover-up attempt.

Deputy Chief Minister Brijesh Pathak on Saturday dismissed media reports that the medical college had expired fire extinguishers.
