Another Victim of Kaziranga Road Accident Identified

Another victim who lost his life in the horrific road accident at Rongajan in Kaziranga has been identified. The deceased has been identified as 60-year-old Asim Phukan, a resident of Parua village in Nagaon district.

His family had remained unaware of his death following the tragic accident.

Asim Phukan was on his way to visit his only daughter’s in-laws’ residence at Dighalipam in Dergaon. His relatives had initially arranged for him to travel in another Traveller vehicle from Dergaon.

However, after reaching Numaligarh, he changed vehicles and boarded the ill-fated Traveller that was later involved in the fatal collision at Rongajan.

Following the accident, Asim Phukan’s body was initially kept at Kohora and was subsequently shifted to the morgue of Golaghat Hospital.

His daughter identified his mortal remains at the Golaghat Hospital morgue a short while ago, bringing an end to the family’s uncertainty over his whereabouts.

The identification of another victim has added to the growing toll of grief among families affected by the devastating Kaziranga road accident.
