Last week a tribal marriage party of the Bhils was gladly returning mounted in three normal size tractors from a village called Bedavalli near Meghnagar railway station to their village Umria some 30 km away in a hilly region near Bamania Railway station on Delhi-Mumbai railway line. On the way near Agral village, one of the tractors met with a serious accident with a cement loaded truck, killing 27 members of the marriage party. Some 16 of the Bhils mounted, died on the spot without any first aid and the rest them in the Civil Hospital of Madhya Pradesh Government at the district hospital in Jhabua, while further suffering the negligence by the Government doctors. Among those who died, where of one clan (gotra) among whom three familys members were completely vanished in the fatal accident and others were men, women and children.
Due to the poverty they hire or ride cheap means of transportation which are technically not very safe, no insurance and sufficient compensation for the casualties suffered. The ones who died after the accident being wounded badly did not get sufficient medical assistance in the civil hospital of Jhabua, Madhya Pradesh.
