The road near the Kali Mata Temple in Kalka, Haryana, India, has become a focal point for safety concerns following a tragic accident that claimed the life of a five-year-old boy. The incident occurred on April 19 when a cement truck lost control while navigating a steep incline and sharp curve, resulting in the child's death and the driver's subsequent passing from injuries. This stretch of road, only 20 feet wide, is lined with prasad shops, which further complicates traffic flow and increases the risk of accidents. Residents report that this is not an isolated incident; a previous crash in November 2023 involved a truck colliding with the temple's entrance, causing significant damage but no fatalities. Local leaders, including temple secretary Prithvi Raj and lawyer Rajesh Gaur, are advocating for immediate safety measures such as speed-breakers, better signage, and police presence. Kalka's sub-divisional magistrate, Sanyam Garg, stated that the administration is actively reviewing the situation and coordinating with various departments to find viable solutions.
