Young Man Killed by Water Tanker in Karachi

The relentless incidents of fatal accidents involving heavy vehicles in the city claimed another life on Monday as a 32-year-old man, Mohammed Daniyal, died in a tragic crash in the Manghopir area, police and rescue services reported.

Daniyal was on his way to work on his motorcycle when he was hit by a water tanker near Rais Centre. The collision caused him to fall from his bike, after which another vehicle fatally ran over him. He died on the spot.

The body was shifted to Abbasi Shaheed Hospital for medico-legal formalities. Daniyal, a resident of Karachi, was known for his mobile shop business at a city market.

Law and Heavy Vehicle Restrictions
The increasing fatalities involving heavy vehicles have raised concerns among the public. Inspector General of Sindh Police, Ghulam Nabi Memon, addressed these concerns while speaking to reporters at the Sindh High Court.

He clarified that trucks carrying essential goods, including water, edible oil, construction materials, liquid oxygen, and meat, are legally allowed to operate on city roads during the daytime.

However, in response to the growing number of accidents, the Sindh chief secretary and law enforcement authorities have decided to restrict the movement of heavy traffic during the day to enhance road safety.

Public Concerns and Road Safety Measures
The tragic death of Mohammed Daniyal underscores the urgent need for stricter enforcement of traffic regulations and more robust safety measures for commuters. Residents and civic organizations are calling for immediate action to mitigate the risks posed by heavy vehicles on Karachi's busy roads.

The authorities have pledged to reassess traffic management strategies to prevent further loss of life and ensure safer city roads.
