According to Amar Ujala, a bus carrying Amarnath Yatra pilgrims met with a serious accident in the Hariganiwan area of Jammu. The vehicle reportedly lost control while navigating a sharp turn known locally as 'S-Mod' and plunged into a deep gorge. Local authorities and emergency responders have initiated a rescue operation at the site to assist the passengers.
Initial reports indicate that more than 10 individuals have sustained injuries in the incident. The Amarnath Yatra, an annual pilgrimage to the holy cave shrine in the Himalayas, often involves travel through challenging mountainous terrain where road accidents can occur due to the difficult geography and weather conditions.
Rescue teams are currently working to extract the injured and transport them to nearby medical facilities for urgent care. Further details regarding the condition of the passengers and the exact cause of the loss of control are expected as the investigation by local law enforcement proceeds.
