The truck had been unloaded of cement bags near Focal Point just before the mishap and was going to Anandpur Sahib.

Cops rushed to the spot and cleared the resultant traffic jam. Station house officer inspector Nirmal Singh said no case was registered as there was a compromise struck between the truck driver and the auto driver.
