A tragic accident occurred on Saturday night near Taparpurva village in Kheri district, resulting in the death of a 32-year-old man. Komal Maurya was riding his motorcycle on the Dhakherwa-Nighasan road when he collided with a stray bull. The incident happened around 9 pm as he was returning to Gularipurava village after closing his business.
Locals immediately took Mr. Maurya to a nearby government medical facility, but sadly, doctors declared him dead on arrival. The body has been sent for a postmortem examination, and an FIR is expected to be registered. Authorities are investigating potential compensation from the State Disaster Relief Fund.
Despite the presence of cattle shelters, residents report that stray cattle continue to pose a significant hazard to nighttime road users. Animals are often found resting in the middle of roads, making them difficult to spot. Citizens have proposed affixing reflective tape to the cattle's necks or horns to enhance their visibility to motorists.
