Witnesses said the motorcycle lost control on a slippery road, caused by saline water, before colliding with the tourist jeep.
Locals also alleged that the road has become increasingly hazardous due to water mixed with salt and mud falling from trucks transporting salt from Shah Porir Dwip.
Many of these trucks, they said, fail to follow safety rules such as using geotextile coverings, creating slippery conditions and putting road users at risk.
