Sat Dec 21 19:01:08 UTC 2024: ## Rajasthan Police Constable Dies in Jaipur Highway Inferno, Identified by Toe Ring
**Jaipur, Rajasthan –** A devastating LPG tanker explosion on the Jaipur-Ajmer highway claimed the life of Rajasthan Armed Constabulary (RAC) police constable Anita Meena on Friday. The accident, which resulted in 14 deaths and over 30 burn injuries, left a trail of destruction, engulfing nearly 40 vehicles in flames.
Anita Meena was traveling from Dudu to Jaipur for duty when the bus she was on was involved in the collision and subsequent fire. Her brother, Basram Meena, recounted a harrowing search that lasted six hours. After initially failing to locate her at the accident site and a hospital burn ward, he finally identified her body at the mortuary, recognizing her only by a distinctive toe ring. “Her body was severely burned and unrecognizable,” he stated.
The accident, experts suggest, may have been caused by incomplete road construction, sudden lane changes, and a lack of traffic awareness. Calls are now being made for a comprehensive statewide road safety action plan to prevent similar tragedies. The incident has highlighted the urgent need for improved road infrastructure and stricter traffic enforcement on Rajasthan’s highways.
