A vehicle carrying bananas overturned on the road leading to the Sri Guru Ram Das Ji International Airport and several men are seen helping the driver in a video posted on X.

Hatinder Singh (@Hatindersinghr3) took to X, formerly Twitter, to share a 10-second video of the incident. It is not clear when the incident occurred while the video is credited to the Instagram page @TheGreatAmritsar.

The overturned tempo is seen on the road as several passersby and youngsters are seen collecting the carts and helping the driver arrange them. Hatinder Singh said he was proud of the youth of Punjab and wrote, “Never take advantage of others in distress.”

“Now compare this with chicken loot yesterday in UP and you will understand the difference in economic prosperity,” a user commented. “Punjabis are one of the most hardworking people,” said another. “That’s why Punjab is different from other states,” wrote a third.

On Wednesday morning, a lorry transporting chickens met with a collision on the Agra-Lucknow Expressway, triggering a chaotic scene as commuters scrambled to make away with chickens.

The incident occurred amid dense fog, contributing to a massive pile-up involving multiple vehicles near the Jharna-Nala flyover, where reduced visibility may have played a role in the accident.

As news of the crash spread, onlookers and nearby commuters quickly descended on the accident site, seizing the opportunity to collect free-range chickens that lay scattered across the road.
