At least six troopers were killed when a bus carrying 37 Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) and the Jammu & Kashmir Police personnel fell into a river at Chandanwari in Pahalgam, around 90km from Srinagar, on Tuesday. The personnel were returning to Srinagar after their deployment for the security of Amarnath Yatra ended.
In a tweet, Jammu & Kashmir Police stated that some of the wounded were being airlifted to Srinagar’s Army Hospital. Top officers were monitoring the rescue operations and 19 ambulances were pressed into service.
Officials informed that a high alert was sounded at the Government Medical College Anantnag, where most injured were being treated. They added the bus fell reportedly after its brakes failed. The vehicle was completely damaged.
