The cause of the accident is not known yet. The bus was reportedly jam-packed when the accident took place.

As many as 37 passengers were killed including the driver and 19 sustained injuries after a bus carrying them skidded off the road and rolled down into a 300-foot gorge in Jammu and Kashmir's Doda district on Wednesday.

The death toll is likely to go up, the officials said.

The bus skidded off the road near Trungal-Assar on the Batote-Kishtwar national highway and fell 300 feet downhill. According to sources, the bus was ferrying 56 passengers. Due to the fall from a considerable height, the bus was badly damaged, sources said.

Police and State Disaster Response Force (SDRF) personnel, besides locals, are involved in the rescue operation.

Some of the deceased have been identified and the bodies will be handed over to their families.

The injured were first taken to a hospital in Doda and subsequently, four of them were airlifted to the GMC hospital in Jammu.

The cause of the accident is not known yet. The officials said the bus was carrying extra passengers and while negotiating a "U" turn, it overturned and rolled down into the gorge.

The bodies were taken out after cutting some parts of the bus, they added. Some of the bodies were badly mutilated, the officials said.

Locals expressed concern over the poor condition of the road which, they said, not only led to this accident but several such incidents in the past.

Mohammad Ashraf, the sarpanch of the area where the accident took place, who along with other local residents, launched the rescue operation, said that at least 10 accidents have taken place in Doda of late, but the administration is yet to act.

"We gave Rs 6 lakh to repair the road. They failed to repair it. They have misappropriated the money. A similar accident took place here only a few months ago and many lives were lost," he added.

This is probably the biggest accident in Doda in the last few years.

Condolences pour in

Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressed his condolences to those who lost their lives in the accident. "The bus accident in Doda, Jammu and Kashmir is distressing. My condolences to the families who have lost their near and dear ones. I pray that the injured recover at the earliest," the PMO posted on X.

The Prime Minister has said that an ex-gratia of Rs 2 lakh from the Prime Minister's National Relief Fund would be given to the families of those killed in the accident. Those injured will receive assistance of Rs 50,000.

Meanwhile, J&K Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha expressed profound sorrow and extended heartfelt condolences to the bereaved families.

"Extremely pained by the loss of lives in a tragic bus accident in Assar, Doda. My heartfelt condolences to bereaved families & wish for a speedy recovery of those injured in the accident. Directed Div Com & Dist Admin to provide all necessary assistance to affected persons," said LG Sinha.

A Helicopter Crashed This Morning in Gauri Kund Area of Rudraprayag District Near Kedarnath

RD News Network: A tragic incident unfolded this morning as a helicopter crashed in the Gauri Kund area of Rudraprayag district, located near the sacred pilgrimage site of Kedarnath. The chopper, reportedly carrying pilgrims and crew members, lost contact shortly after takeoff and crashed in the densely forested region near the Kedarnath Yatra route.

Rescue operations were immediately launched by local authorities, including the State Disaster Response Force (SDRF), police teams, and Indian Air Force personnel. The terrain and weather conditions have posed challenges, but efforts are ongoing to locate survivors and recover the wreckage.

Initial reports suggest that bad weather, including heavy mist and reduced visibility, may have contributed to the crash. However, aviation authorities have stated that a detailed investigation will be conducted to determine the exact cause.

The helicopter was reportedly operated by a private aviation service catering to pilgrims traveling to Kedarnath, a shrine that attracts thousands of visitors daily during the Yatra season. The identities of the passengers and crew are yet to be officially confirmed.

Local residents reported hearing a loud noise followed by smoke emerging from the hills early in the morning. Emergency services were quick to respond, and the area has since been cordoned off to facilitate rescue and investigation efforts.

This incident has cast a shadow over the ongoing pilgrimage season, raising concerns over the safety protocols of helicopter services operating in the region. Authorities have urged all aviation companies to adhere strictly to weather advisories and safety regulations.

RD News Network will continue to provide updates as the situation develops. Our thoughts are with the families of those affected by this tragic accident.

With relentless rain pounding Tamil Nadu’s ghat regions, authorities have escalated their response by deploying National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) teams in the Nilgiris and Coimbatore districts to tackle potential emergencies from landslides and flooding.

The move follows the India Meteorological Department’s (IMD) issuance of a red alert for the Nilgiris district on June 12 and 13, indicating extremely heavy rain that may exceed 204.4 mm in isolated areas.

Extreme Weather Prompts Urgent Action

In response to the worsening weather, NDRF teams from Ranipet and Arakkonam have been stationed in vulnerable zones across the Nilgiris and Coimbatore.

From Tuesday onward, Northern Tamil Nadu, including Cuddalore and Ariyalur, will start seeing a significant increase in precipitation.

Chennai Enjoys Respite, But Caution Still Urged

Meanwhile, Chennai and its suburbs received light to moderate showers over the past 24 hours, offering residents much-needed relief from the summer heat. Areas across the city reported steady rainfall during the day, helping lower temperatures.

Despite milder conditions in urban centers like Chennai, the Meteorological Department continues to urge caution. People are advised to:

Avoid travel through hilly or low-lying areas during heavy rainfall.

Stay updated through official weather alerts.

Keep emergency contacts handy and prepare for temporary power or communication disruptions.

Preparedness is Key

Tamil Nadu’s disaster response agencies remain on round-the-clock alert, with NDRF, SDRF, and local administrative units coordinating to ensure public safety. Relief camps, rescue equipment, and medical teams are being kept on standby as part of contingency measures.

As the state braces for another round of intense weather, the emphasis remains on vigilance, preparedness, and public cooperation.
