Shimla, July 14
Six people died and three others sustained injuries when a Bolero SUV carrying them fell into a gorge near Bhalana Khudi Nala in the Kateru area, under the jurisdiction of BSL police station in Sundernagar, Mandi district. The incident occurred this morning amidst heavy rainfall in the region.
Local residents were the first to reach the accident site and, after a strenuous effort, managed to evacuate all the victims from the gorge to the nearby road. From there, they were transported to Sundernagar and Nerchowk Medical College hospitals for treatment.
The rescue and relief operations faced significant challenges due to the lack of visibility caused by darkness during the night.
The victims were returning from Kamrunag temple when the accident took place. The deceased individuals have been identified as Lala Ram (50), Roop Lal (55), Sunil Kumar (35), Gobind Ram (60), Raghuram, Mohan (55), and the driver, Anil Dutt (52).
MLA Vinod Kumar has instructed the local administration to extend all possible assistance to the affected families.
Meanwhile Chief Minister Sukhwinder Singh Sukhu condoled the demise of these citizens. He also directed the local authorities to provide all possible support to the effected family.
