A major accident occurred in Srinagar on Saturday when a CRPF bunker vehicle skidded off Dagpora Road in Ahmad Nagar and plunged into a canal, leaving nine personnel injured.
Officials said the accident took place near Umar Hair after the driver reportedly lost control of the vehicle. Seven injured jawans from the 21 Battalion CRPF were rushed to a nearby hospital, while two more were later shifted to Sher-e-Kashmir Institute of Medical Sciences (SKIMS), Soura. Doctors confirmed that all injured personnel are stable and under medical care.
The injured have been identified as Naginder Singh (36), Ajit Kumar Ram (36), Raj Kishore Rai (40), Amit Kumar Yadav (38), Rajdhan Ram (55), Mankar Kumar (40), and Neeraj Kumar (45). Medical teams are monitoring their recovery closely.
Meanwhile, security forces launched a search operation in Rajouri district following an infiltration attempt along the Line of Control. Troops recovered one AK-47 rifle, two magazines, three rucksacks, blankets, rations, and clothing in the Nathua Tibba area of the Sunderbani sector. Blood stains at the site suggested that infiltrating terrorists may have been injured.
Authorities confirmed that the search operation remains active and security forces are on high alert across sensitive areas of Jammu and Kashmir.
