Two separate road accidents occurred within half an hour in Halwara, Punjab, and officials identified a speed breaker in front of the Air Force base as a contributing factor.
Halwara in Punjab witnessed two road mishaps within a thirty‑minute span on Tuesday, both taking place on the main artery that runs past the Indian Air Force station. The first collision was reported shortly after 9 a.m., followed by a second incident less than half an hour later, prompting immediate police and emergency response.
Local traffic police said preliminary investigations point to a speed breaker installed just before the Air Force base as a common element in both accidents. Drivers reportedly braked abruptly at the uneven surface, leading to loss of control of their vehicles.
Authorities have sealed the stretch for a detailed safety audit and are considering redesigning the speed breaker to prevent further mishaps. No official casualty figures have been released, and investigations remain ongoing.
