A major accident was averted on Wednesday on the Rajora-Chandpura main road in Begusarai district. A massive banyan tree located by the roadside near Bhukhmariya Dhala suddenly fell, completely blocking traffic on the Rajora-Chandpura route. This led to long queues of vehicles on both sides of the road.

The falling tree not only disrupted traffic but also affected power supply. The 11,000-volt electricity wire snapped along with the tree and fell onto the road, causing a power outage in about half a dozen villages, including Neema, Chandpura, Sherpur, and Rajora. In the scorching heat, the power disruption has caused significant inconvenience to residents, and the drinking water crisis has also deepened.

Upon receiving information about the incident, local residents and passersby informed their public representatives. Ajit Kumar, the representative of Neema Panchayat's मुखिया, immediately apprised the Begusarai electricity department officials of the situation. The Junior Engineer (JE) of the electricity department stated that they have received the information and will soon send technicians and linemen to the site. Preparations are underway to remove the broken wire and connect a new one. Additionally, local administration is assisting in removing the tree from the road. The JE assured that if all goes well, power supply to all affected villages would be restored by 4 PM.
