A 27-year-old man was killed on the spot in a road accident near Chargaon on Diwali, plunging Mandar village in Wani taluka into mourning. The deceased has been identified as Yogesh Ravindra Buche. The death on a festival day has devastated the Buche family, and the entire village is grieving.

According to the information available, Buche worked as a private veterinary assistant. On the morning of Diwali, he left home on a motorcycle with his father to travel to Chandrapur. The two filled the bike with petrol at a pump near the Chargaon outpost and resumed their journey.

A speeding truck coming from the opposite direction then hit their motorcycle head-on. The impact was so severe that Yogesh was critically injured and died on the spot. His father is in deep shock after watching his son die before his eyes.

At a time when the household should have been celebrating the festival, the Buche family is facing the loss of their son. The sudden death of Yogesh, only 27, has left his family, relatives and the people of Mandar in deep sorrow.

Residents have expressed concern that heavy vehicles speeding on many roads endanger the safety of motorcyclists and pedestrians.

People are demanding that the speed of heavy vehicles be kept in check, traffic rules be strictly enforced and safety measures be put in place at accident-prone spots. The area is in mourning after the accident on Diwali.
