Summary:
Immediately after the Muhawa accident, the then government functionaries had announced to install safety grills on bridges and along drains. Sarbjit Singh said a drain in his historic Sarai Amanat Khan continued to be without safety railing. He added that the problem was only with drains, while bridges on canals, minors and channels have cemented safety blocks. Daljit Singh, a resident of Balharwal village in Ajnala Tehsil said, people while commuting over a drain without any safety railings risk their lives. The van was taking students back home from DAV Public School, Neshta, when the accident occurred 5 km from the school at 1.30pm..
