On Saturday morning, while going towards Dariavganj-Patiali in Kasganj, people suddenly heard the sound of screaming from the Adarsh pond of Kakrala. There was a shrine of a saint at some distance from the spot. He immediately came to know about this accident. Immediately seeing the tractor trolley falling into the pond, the sadhus ran and stopped the passers-by and engaged them in relief work.
Some pedestrians stopped themselves and some were stopped. Meanwhile, some policemen also came out. Rescue work started within ten minutes of the incident. People had to make a lot of efforts to lift the trolley that had overturned in the pond. When the trolley did not pick up, other people were called.
Relief work started only after the trolley was lifted. People thought that their efforts would save some lives, but one after another, as children and women were picked up, most of them seemed to be breathing. Only a few people turned out to have some consciousness. Most of the people had become exhausted as soon as they stopped breathing.
Everyone was quickly sent to the health center of Patiali by the ambulance that reached the spot. The policemen and villagers who were engaged in relief work also started trembling after seeing the breathing of the people. Because they did not realize this. They were busy trying to save people’s lives.
