  "account": "A schoolgirl tragically lost her life after being struck and killed by an electric bus in Rawalpindi. The incident occurred in front of Gelani Mart, leading to angry residents blocking the road in protest. Eyewitnesses reported that the bus struck the girl instantly, resulting in her death. In response to the tragedy, locals halted traffic and staged a demonstration at the scene, demanding accountability and action against those responsible for this unfortunate event. The green electric buses, part of Punjab's mass transit initiative, were introduced in Rawalpindi and other major cities as an environmentally-friendly public transport option designed to lower fuel costs and carbon emissions. However, the fleet has encountered safety concerns since its introduction, with previous incidents further fueling public concern. In May, a green electric bus was involved in a collision near Mareer Chowk in Rawalpindi's Cantt area, following a collision with a speeding vehicle at a U-turn, though passengers escaped unharmed. The exact circumstances surrounding the recent accident and the identity of the victim remain undisclosed. The tragic incident unfolded on [Date], and was first reported by ProPakistani.",
