NEW DELHI: Three soldiers lost their lives on Sunday after an Army vehicle veered off the road and plunged into a 700-foot gorge in Jammu and Kashmir’s Ramban district, officials told news agency PTI.
The tragic incident occurred around 11.30am near Battery Chashma on National Highway 44. The Army truck was part of a convoy travelling from Jammu to Srinagar when the driver reportedly lost control, sending the vehicle down the steep slope.
The deceased have been identified as Sepoys Amit Kumar, Sujeet Kumar, and Man Bahadur, officials confirmed. Recovery efforts are underway to retrieve their bodies from the gorge, with the vehicle left completely mangled by the crash.
