Pathsala: Two men lost their lives in separate road accidents in Bajali, Assam.
On August 15, Harpati Kalita, 53, was fatally hit by a four-wheeler, leaving him dead on the spot.
In a protest held later that evening, residents demanded the installation of a speed breaker within a week, citing its absence as the primary cause of frequent accidents in the area.
