Rajouri, August 2: At least 40 passengers had a miraculous escape on Saturday morning when the bus they were travelling in skidded off the road and stopped just inches from the edge of a cliff while en route to Rajouri from the Gambhir Mughalan area.The bus, reportedly on a routine route, lost control and veered dangerously close to a 300-foot-deep river gorge, narrowly averting a major tragedy.
Responding swiftly, troops of the Indian Army’s Rashtriya Rifles battalion from the Gambhir camp (Romeo Force), who were deployed nearby for area domination duties in connection with the Baba Budha Amarnath Yatra, rushed to the spot.
The Army personnel promptly launched a rescue operation and provided first aid to around twelve passengers who sustained minor injuries and bruises.
