Rajvir Jawanda’s accident
The Punjabi singer/actor Rajvir Jawanda was travelling towards Shimla on his BMW R1300 GS adventure motorcycle, but unfortunately, on September 27th, he met with an accident. He was riding his bike near Baddi-Nalagarh Road in Solan district, Himachal Pradesh, when two stray bulls that were fighting came onto the road.
Following this, the singer's bike collided with the bulls, and he suffered serious injuries to his head and spine. Immediately after the accident, Jawanda was rushed to the Civil Hospital, where doctors confirmed that he had suffered severe trauma. The situation worsened after he suffered a cardiac arrest at the hospital as well.
Immediately after this, the singer was shifted to Fortis Hospital, Mohali, Punjab, his hometown, due to his extremely critical condition. A special team of emergency and neurosurgery doctors started conducting detailed tests, and the singer was then placed on a ventilator and advanced life support.
Presently, the family and doctors have given an update on his condition. They have stated that the oxygen support has been reduced and his pulse has also stabilized. However, his condition still remains critical. The family of the singer and many popular Punjabi artists have reached the hospital.
The list of artists who visited Jawanda in Mohali Fortis Hospital includes Mankirt Aulakh, Kanwar Grewal, Gurdas Maan, Babbu Maan, Ranjit Bawa, Surjit Bhullar, Tarsem Jassar, Sonia Maan, and many others. Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann personally visited the hospital and met Jawanda's mother and wife. He has also urged the public not to spread false rumours.
Stray cattle is a huge problem in India
According to estimates, there are around 5 million stray cattle that freely roam on city roads and highways across the country. These animals are generally abandoned by farmers when they stop giving milk. And as the grazing ground is getting reduced, these cattle move onto public roads, causing huge problems for road users.
Every year, these stray animals cause numerous serious accidents, and many of them result in fatalities as well. Unfortunately, despite this being a huge problem, the government does not take the necessary actions to keep public roads free from cattle and stray animals like dogs, donkeys, and others.
Rajvir Jawanda is an adventure enthusiast
