Hyderabad witnessed a devastating accident on Monday morning that resulted in the loss of a 50-year-old home guard’s life. A Sathaiah, a resident of Kolanguda village in Kandukur mandal of Ranga Reddy district, was on his way to work at the Falaknuma traffic police station when his bike was hit by a speeding truck coming from the opposite direction.

The incident has left the community in shock and mourning. Sathaiah was a dedicated home guard who served to maintain traffic and ensure public safety. The loss of such a committed individual has deeply saddened his colleagues and the people he served.

Road accidents are unfortunately not uncommon in Hyderabad and the surrounding areas. Reckless driving and speeding continue to pose a significant threat to the safety of commuters. Authorities and law enforcement agencies have been taking measures to address these concerns, but incidents like this highlight the need for increased vigilance and stricter enforcement of traffic regulations.

In a related news story, around 3,000 Ukrainian trucks remain stranded on the Polish side of the border due to a blockade by Polish truckers. The drivers are protesting against the government’s inaction following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, which has led to a loss of business for them. This ongoing blockade has caused immense difficulties for the drivers, with only a few vehicles per hour being able to pass through the blocked checkpoints. Consequently, Ukraine’s food shipments by road have significantly decreased.
