Teen Dies After Vehicle Stuck in Mud on Damaged Road in J-K's Rajouri
A 17-year-old girl from Methyani village in Jammu and Kashmir's Rajouri district died after the vehicle taking her to Government Medical College got stuck in mud for nearly three hours due to a mudslide on the Chak Methyani-Panglar-Kotecharwal road. The road, damaged by heavy rains and previously restored temporarily, became unmotorable again. The district administration suspended the Executive Engineer responsible and ordered an inquiry amid public anger over delayed road repairs.
