The City Diary

Toddler run over

A four-year-old girl died after being hit by a speeding lorry on Hyde Road near Taratala on Tuesday morning. Police said Khushbu Thakur, a resident of Bibi Hall on Sonai Road, was playing by the roadside when the mishap occurred. The driver fled the spot. Residents tried to set the truck on fire and later set up a roadblock, which was lifted after 40 minutes.

Examinee stable

Madhyamik examinee Regina Khatun, who had jumped off a moving train at Bisharpara station in North 24-Parganas on Monday so that she could reach the exam centre in time, was stable, said doctors. The student of Fatallapur Adarsha High School in Nimta, who had mistakenly boarded a train that does not stop at Bisharpara, the station closest to her exam centre, will need multiple surgeries. Her jump had left her with a fractured jaw. She is being treated at a nursing home in Baguiati.
