Jammu and Kashmir: Bus with Amarnath pilgrims slips into gorge, 39 hurt

A bus carrying Amarnath Yatra pilgrims skidded off the road in Jammu and Kashmir's Ganderbal district and plunged into a 50-foot-deep gorge, injuring at least 39 people, including 21 from Madhya Pradesh and 19 from Rajasthan. The vehicle was traveling from Baltal toward Srinagar when the accident occurred around 7 am near Ranga Morh. A house located mid-slope broke the fall at approximately 25 feet, preventing the bus from sliding further and potentially causing a more severe disaster. Local residents and security forces, including J&K Police, CRPF, ITBP, and civil defense personnel, conducted a coordinated rescue operation. The injured were taken to SKIMS hospital in Srinagar, where J&K Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha and Health Minister Sakeena Itoo visited to oversee medical care and provide assurances of government support. The Amarnath Yatra, which began on July 3, continues through August 28, with over 414,000 pilgrims having already completed the journey.

Bias read (Center): The article presents a factual account of a traffic accident involving pilgrims during a religious event, focusing on the immediate incident, rescue efforts, and governmental responses. There is no overt ideological framing or emphasis on political agendas. While the involvement of government官员如Lie.
