Meanwhile, former Congress Minister and MLA Inderwal G M Saroori have expressed shock and grief over the tragic accident on Kishtwar-Chatroo road.
"In recent times state is marred by road accidents, particularly in hilly areas of the J&K. Despite tall claims by administration of safeguarding the lives of innocent people, the accidents keep occurring time after time", Saroori added.
Also the paucity of Traffic police presence is also a factor in the erstwhile Doda district as there is only few Traffic Check Posts. Till there is no concerted effort from the concerned authorities, these types of incidents will keep on occurring, Saroori said
Conveying his condolences Saroori expressed deep sympathy and solidarity with the bereaved family and prayed for eternal peace to the departed soul.
Saroori who was also in Chatroo rushed to the PHC Chatroo and issued instructions to the doctors of PHC Chatroo and District Hospital Kishtwar for taking extra care of the injured and ensuring all possible treatment to the injured.
