In the disputed Himalayan region of Kashmir, a tragic incident occurred when a jeep plunged from a mountain road into a ravine, resulting in the deaths of 14 individuals and injuring two others. The accident took place in the Neelam Valley, as confirmed by government administrator Nadeem Janjua. The deceased and injured were promptly taken to a hospital for treatment, while the exact cause of the crash is yet to be determined. Kashmir remains a point of contention between India and Pakistan, both nations laying claim to the entire region.
Road accidents in Pakistan are a frequent occurrence, often attributed to inadequate road infrastructure and lax enforcement of traffic regulations and safety protocols. This incident follows a similar tragedy from last month when a van plummeted into a river in the same district, claiming the lives of 16 individuals, many of whom were children.
