39 Amarnath Pilgrims Injured as Bus Skids in Kashmir's Ganderbal
A bus carrying devotees on the annual Amarnath Yatra lost control and crashed into a low-lying area and a house in Jammu and Kashmir.
Thirty-nine pilgrims participating in the annual Amarnath Yatra pilgrimage sustained injuries when their bus veered off the road and crashed in the Ganderbal district of Jammu and Kashmir. The incident occurred in the northern Indian union territory, a region characterised by its mountainous terrain and winding roads.
The bus, reportedly carrying a full complement of pilgrims, skidded off the main thoroughfare near the S-Mode area of Ganiwan, located within the Gund region of Ganderbal. Following the loss of control, the vehicle plunged into a low-lying area, ultimately coming to rest after crashing onto a nearby house.
Emergency response teams were promptly deployed to the scene of the accident. All passengers aboard the bus were successfully rescued from the wreckage. While reports confirmed thirty-nine individuals suffered injuries, the precise nature or severity of these injuries was not immediately detailed.
The Amarnath Yatra is a significant Hindu pilgrimage to an ice stalagmite shrine situated in the high Himalayas. Thousands of devotees undertake this challenging journey each year, navigating arduous routes through Jammu and Kashmir. Authorities are expected to launch an investigation to determine the exact circumstances that led to the bus veering off the road.
