In a major development, a car belonging to the convoy of Punjab Governor Banwari Lal Purohit, who was on a border tour in Amritsar, met with an accident on Wednesday. Punjab Governor Purohit's convoy was reportedly coming towards Gharinda from Pul Mauran. Suddenly, the tyre of the car of CRPF personnel deployed for his security burst. Due to the bursting of tyre, the car lost its balance and collided with the divider. Three CRPF personnel have suffered minor injuries in the incident. All three CRPF personnel have been admitted in a hospital.
Notably, on Tuesday, Punjab governor Banwarilal Purohit held a meeting with members of village defence committees and people of the border area in Bamyal sector of Pathankot district. He hailed the dedication of village defence committees and expressed the urgency of collective vigilance to combat the pervasive drug crisis and maintain security in border areas.
