Two vehicles rammed into the shop of the Improvement Trust chairman near Mata Rani Chowk in Jalandhar, causing significant damage but no major injuries.
Two cars ploughed into the storefront of the Improvement Trust chairman on the busy Mata Rani Chowk stretch in Jalandhar on Saturday evening. The collision occurred during peak traffic hours, when the narrow lane was already congested with shoppers and commuters.
The impact shattered shop windows, dented the façade and scattered merchandise across the road. Emergency services arrived within minutes, cordoned off the area and cleared the wreckage. No serious injuries were reported, though a few by‑standers sustained minor cuts and bruises.
Police officials detained the drivers for questioning and opened an investigation to determine the cause, citing possible overspeeding or failure to observe traffic signals. The Improvement Trust has announced a temporary closure of the shop for repairs and will assess compensation for the damages.
Local authorities have urged motorists to adhere to speed limits and exercise caution in crowded market zones to prevent similar incidents in the future.
