Assam Trucker Killed in Mizoram Accident Amid Highway Concerns
A truck driver from Assam died in an accident in Mizoram.
His truck got stuck in a pothole, and while trying to help, another truck accidentally hit him, causing his death.
This happened because the road, NH-306, is in very bad shape, full of holes and damage.
People are angry at the government for not fixing the road.
Truck drivers blocked the road for a few days to protest, but it was stopped after some negotiation.
They are warning they will block the road again if the road is not repaired.
