    What's the story

    Four people lost their lives after their vehicle fell into a river in the Kishtwar district of Jammu and Kashmir.

    The accident took place when the vehicle skidded off the road, rolled down a hill, and fell into the river in the Paddar area.

    Two people, including the driver of the vehicle, are still missing. Rescue operations are in full swing to trace them.

    Official response

    Union Minister expresses condolences, assures rescue efforts

    Udhampur MP and Union Minister Jitendra Singh has mourned the tragic incident.

    In a social media post, he wrote, "Saddened to learn just now that 4 of the passengers traveling in the vehicle have been found dead on the spot."

    He added that two others, including the driver, are yet to be traced and extended his sincere condolences to their bereaved families.

    Singh said he is in touch with Kishtwar's Deputy Commissioner, Rajesh Kumar Shavan, to speed up rescue operations.
