| Relief provided to mishap victims: Akhoon | | | EARLY TIMES REPORT
Jammu Mar 16: Minister for Transport Qamar Ali Akhoon today informed the House that a mini bus No. JK14A-7565 loaded with passengers was on its way from Latti to Chenani when it fell into a 150 feet deep gorge at Kosur near Choka Nallah yesterday causing on-spot death of 10 passengers and rendering 56 injured.
Making a statement in the House, he said that among 8 critical injured cases were airlifted to Medical College Hospital Jammu while 2 succumbed to injuries. He said that remaining injured persons have been treated at district hospital Udhampur. An FIR No. 20/11 has been lodged at Police Station Chenani, he added.
Minister said that due to break down of a truck at Kosur bridge the road got blocked and a little space was left for passage of the vehicles. It seems that the driver failed to judge the narrow space left for crossing which resulted in failure to negotiate the crossing of the ill-fated bus, he said.
Minister informed that relief of Rs. 25000 to the kin of each deceased and Rs. 10000 to each injured is being released by the Transport Department under Passengers Welfare Scheme for the first time.
