JAMMU: At least 16 pilgrims from Delhi visiting Mata Vaishno Devi shrine in J&K were injured when their vehicle overturned near Chenani in Udhampur district late Saturday. Ten others escaped unhurt in the accident.
The minibus carrying the pilgrims was heading to Katra base camp from Patnitop after visiting the shrine when the driver lost control and the vehicle turned turtle near the Chenani-Nashri tunnel.
“Police and residents immediately rushed to the rescue and evacuated the injured, all from Delhi’s Rohini area, to Chenani sub-district hospital. Their condition is stable,” said a police source.
