Mufti’s Escort Vehicle Skids Off Road in J&K, 3 Policemen Injured
In a shocking incident, the escort vehicle of former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister and PDP chief Mehbooba Mufti met with an accident in North Kashmir’s Baramulla district on Sunday. The vehicle, which was part of Mufti’s cavalcade, lost control and skidded off the road, injuring three police personnel who were accompanying her.
The accident took place when Mufti’s convoy was on its way to Kulgam district in South Kashmir. The escort vehicle, which was leading the cavalcade, suddenly lost control and veered off the road, causing the police personnel on board to sustain injuries.
According to eyewitnesses, the police personnel were rushed to a nearby hospital for treatment, where they were admitted with minor injuries. The exact nature of their injuries is not yet known, but sources suggest that they are stable and out of danger.
The police have taken cognizance of the incident and launched an investigation into the cause of the accident. An official statement from the police department confirmed the incident, saying that three police personnel were injured when the escort vehicle skidded off the road.
The incident has raised concerns about the safety of political leaders and their security personnel in the region. Mehbooba Mufti, who is a prominent leader in the Kashmir Valley, has been a vocal critic of the Indian government’s policies in the region. Her party, the PDP, has a significant following in the Valley, and her cavalcade is often accompanied by a large number of security personnel.
The accident is also a reminder of the challenges faced by security personnel in the region. The Kashmir Valley has been plagued by insurgency and terrorism for decades, and security personnel are often targeted by militants. The incident highlights the risks faced by security personnel who accompany political leaders on their movements.
Despite the challenges, the police department has vowed to ensure the safety and security of political leaders and their personnel. In a statement, the police department said that they were taking all necessary measures to prevent such incidents in the future.
The incident has also drawn attention to the condition of the roads in the region. The Kashmir Valley is known for its rough terrain and poor road conditions, which can make travel challenging, especially during the winter months. The accident has raised concerns about the need for improved road infrastructure and better maintenance of roads to prevent such incidents.
In the meantime, Mehbooba Mufti has condoled the injuries sustained by the police personnel and expressed gratitude to the police department for their prompt response to the incident. Her party, the PDP, has also issued a statement condemning the incident and calling for improved security measures to prevent such incidents in the future.
The incident is a reminder of the importance of ensuring the safety and security of political leaders and their personnel. It is a wake-up call for the authorities to take necessary measures to prevent such incidents and ensure the safety of political leaders and their personnel.
