Jammu: At least 30 passengers have been injured in Jammu and Kashmir’s Reasi district on Sunday after a mini bus overturns, officials said.
Official sources said that two injured persons sustained grievous injuries and they have been rushed to the Government Medical College Hospital in Jammu. “The accident took place near Tara Morh when the bus was on its way to Pouni in Reasi from Moughla in Rajouri district.”
“30 passengers including 22 women were injured in the accident and all were hospitalized.
“Two grievously injured persons, Rafaqat Ali and Goutam Sharma were referred to Government Medical College hospital Jammu for specialised treatment”, police said.
The hilly roads of Rajouri, Doda, Poonch, Ramban, Kishtwar and Reasi districts are notorious for road accidents.
Traffic department officials attribute these accidents to over-speeding, over-loading, bad road conditions and road rage.
Transport department authorities have made public the punishments such offences attract. Cancellation of driving licences in case of rash and negligent driving, cancellation of registration of vehicles driven by minors and imprisonment of parents, who give vehicles to minor children for driving.
