Bus Carrying Amarnath Pilgrims Skids Off Road in J-K, Dozens InjuredPreviousNext

A bus carrying nearly 40 Amarnath Yatra pilgrims skidded off the road near Hariganiwan in Jammu and Kashmir's Ganderbal district, injuring 30 to 39 passengers. The vehicle fell onto a house, which prevented it from plunging into the Sindh River. Rescue operations were conducted by security forces and locals, and the injured were taken to hospitals, with many referred to SKIMS Srinagar for advanced care. Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha inquired about the victims and directed officials to provide necessary medical assistance. The cause of the accident is under investigation.
