Mufti’s Escort Vehicle Skids Off Road in J&K, 3 Policemen Injured
In a shocking incident, an escort vehicle in the cavalcade of former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chief Mehbooba Mufti met with an accident in North Kashmir’s Baramulla district on Sunday. The accident took place when the escort vehicle lost control and skidded off the road, injuring three police personnel.
According to reports, Mufti was on her way to attend a function in Baramulla when the accident occurred. The escort vehicle, which was part of her security convoy, suddenly lost control and veered off the road, resulting in the injuries to the three police personnel who were traveling in the vehicle.
The injured police personnel were rushed to a nearby hospital for medical treatment. The extent of their injuries is not yet known, but they are reported to be 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 spokesperson was quoted as saying that the exact circumstances leading to the accident are still being investigated and a preliminary report is expected to be submitted soon.
This is not the first time that an accident involving Mufti’s convoy has made headlines. In 2020, her convoy was attacked by stone-pelters in Kashmir, leaving several security personnel injured.
The incident has raised concerns about the security arrangements in place for VIPs in the region. While the police have assured that the security of Mufti and other VIPs is their top priority, the incident has highlighted the need for greater vigilance and caution.
In recent years, Kashmir has seen a surge in violence and militancy, with several incidents of stone-pelting and attacks on security forces reported. The region has been under a strict security clampdown, with thousands of security personnel deployed to maintain law and order.
Despite the challenges, the police have been working tirelessly to maintain peace and stability in the region. The incident involving Mufti’s convoy is a stark reminder of the importance of ensuring the safety and security of all individuals, including VIPs.
The accident has also sparked concerns about the condition of the roads in the region. Many residents have expressed frustration over the poor condition of the roads, which they say is a major cause of accidents and fatalities.
In recent years, there have been several reports of accidents and fatalities on Kashmir’s roads, which have been attributed to poor maintenance and lack of infrastructure. The government has been working to improve the road infrastructure in the region, but much more needs to be done to ensure the safety of all road users.
In conclusion, the accident involving Mufti’s escort vehicle is a stark reminder of the importance of ensuring the safety and security of all individuals, including VIPs. The police must take swift action to investigate the cause of the accident and take necessary steps to prevent such incidents in the future. The government must also prioritize the improvement of road infrastructure in the region to prevent accidents and fatalities.
