Delhi Tourist Dies in Mussoorie Traffic: Family Blames Administration
A man named Kamal Kishore, who was 62 years old, went on vacation to Mussoorie but sadly passed away.
He got sick, and his family tried to get him to the hospital.
They called for an ambulance, but it was going to take a while to get there.
So, they drove him themselves.
However, the roads were very busy with lots of cars, and they got stuck in a traffic jam.
This caused a big delay.
By the time they got to the hospital, he had already passed away.
His family was very sad and thought the local government should have done a better job managing traffic so this wouldn't happen to anyone else.
