In Arunachal Pradesh’s Lower Siang district, a tragic accident occurred when a car was struck by a train while crossing the tracks, resulting in the death of a 52-year-old man and injuring a child. An official reported this on Saturday.
According to Ganesh Hazarika, Assistant Sub-Inspector of Government Railway Police (GRP), the incident took place around 3:50 PM on Friday near Paley, close to Dimow. The deceased has been identified as Rigio Reba, a sub-inspector with the Indian Reserve Battalion. Reba was traveling with his seven-year-old grandson from Pasighat in East Siang district to their native village. He was stationed in Pasighat at the time.
