Bus Tragedy in Kashmir Mountains Claims 21 Lives

Kashmir, India - At least 21 people were killed when an overcrowded bus skidded off the road and plunged into a deep gorge in the mountainous region of Kashmir, authorities reported. The bus, carrying more passengers than its capacity, was navigating a sharp curve in the treacherous terrain when the driver lost control, causing the vehicle to careen off the road and tumble down the steep ravine.

The incident occurred on a narrow, winding mountain road in the Kishtwar district of Jammu and Kashmir, a region known for its scenic but perilous routes. Rescue teams were immediately dispatched to the accident site, but the remote location and the severity of the crash made the recovery efforts particularly challenging.
