A speeding truck rammed into two vehicles of my convoy, injuring three security personnel. I immediately alerted the district police and the administration. The accident took place just five feet away from my vehicle."
The police have arrested the truck driver and seized the vehicle. "Action should be taken against those who violate traffic rules," Yadav urged.
