20 injured, toll likely to go up as medical facilities are far away

Over 20 people are feared dead and around 20 injured in a road accident in the Chenab Valley’s Kishtwar.

An official said a vehicle on the way to Kishtwar from Keshwan skidded off the road near Srigwari and rolled into a gorge on Monday morning.

“Around 20 bodies were spotted at the accident site. Around 20 others are severely injured. A helicopter has been put into service to lift the injured to nearby hospitals,” said a local official.

The toll is likely to go up as medical facilities are far from accident spot.
