An old man was killed in a collision with a tipper at the goat market in Mirchaiya municipality-7 under the Mirchaiya-Katari road section. 65-year-old Mahendra Mahara, a local, was killed by a tipper at 6:50 on Tuesday morning.
He was returning after worshiping at the temple in the same place, when he was hit by a tipper bearing the number Ba Pr-01-004 A 2953 carrying limestone for the cement industry. The police said that he died on the spot due to the impact of the high-speed tipper.
The tipper also overturned on the spot due to high speed. The driver of the tipper is absconding and the search for him and the investigation of the incident are underway, said DSP Rajeshraj Puri, head of the Mirchaiya area police office.
The tipper that hit the truck was carrying limestone for the cement industry, the police said. The cement industries of Siraha and Dhanusha used to transport limestone in more than 1500 tippers daily from this road section.
After the death of an old man due to the collision of a tipper, locals have even demonstrated on the highway. Ward president Ramdayal Thakur has alleged that cement industrialists and tipper businessmen do not give any importance to the lives of common people and are creating terror by arranging financial transactions with government agencies.
He said that there have been accidents and loss of property in this area for years because the tippers of the cement industry are overloaded and run at high speed. He said that although the cement industry agreed to make an alternative route many times when the locals protested against it, it was not implemented.
'Agitation and accidents have become destiny for us, cement industries have repeatedly agreed to build an alternative road, until an alternative road is built, it has also been agreed to run tifer slowly in the village area,' he said, 'but, it was never implemented.'
