Punjab Overloaded PRTC Bus Accident News in Faridpur village of Nabha block Latest News: In Punjab, road accidents are continuously on the rise, most of them caused by overloaded passengers and goods. A similar incident occurred in Faridpur village of Nabha block, where around 140 passengers were travelling in an overloaded PRTC bus.
The bus’s springs broke, causing it to crash directly into a huge tree, which shattered into pieces.
