Moga, Dec 14: Dense fog continued to take a toll on road safety in Punjab as two school teachers were killed in a road accident in Moga district on Sunday, officials said.
According to police, the couple’s car plunged into a canal near Sangatpura village in the Baghapurana subdivision after the driver lost control due to extremely low visibility.
