\A person was killed on the spot and another was seriously injured in a road accident here on Sunday. This led to an immediate road blockade by angry protestors with tension prevailing in the area.
While one Shri Subham Poddar of Poda Astia (a suburban area of this town), along with his mother Kanika Poddar, was going to Kostha, 20 km from here, by his scooty, a loaded truck hit them severely at about 11 am, leaving Subham dead on the spot and his mother injured.
Kanika was admitted to the local PRM Medical College Hospital.
The situation arising out of the road blockade was brought under control by police.
