“On 04 Jan 24, while performing duty in Bandipora District, a vehicle of Indian Army skid and fell into the gorge due to inclement weather and poor visibility conditions. Injured soldiers were promptly evacuated for medical care with assistance from Kashmiri locals, for which we express gratitude towards the citizens in providing immediate succour. Tragically three bravehearts lost their lives in the unfortunate accident. Indian Army extends heartfelt condolences to the bereaved families”, wrote White Chinar Corps, a unit of Indian Army on X.

Police sources said the Army vehicle rolled down near the Wular Lake in Sadrakote village on the Srinagar-Bandipora highway. The soldiers were soon rushed to a hospital where doctors declared two of them dead.

In a similar incident last month, five soldiers died and five others were injured after the truck they were travelling in plunged into a 300-foot gorge in Jammu and Kashmir’s Poonch.
