Srinagar, Jan 04: Four soldiers died, and others sustained injuries after an army vehicle skidded off the road and plunged into a deep gorge in the Saderkote Payeen area of North Kashmir’s Bandipora district on Saturday.
An official told Rising Kashmir that a Road Opening Party (RoP) vehicle of 13 Rashtriya Rifles plunged nearly 500 feet into a gorge following which swift rescue operation was launched, and all six soldiers in the vehicle were evacuated. One soldier was taken to Sumbal Hospital, while the other five were shifted to District Hospital Bandipora, he said.

He added that three others sustained injuries and were given first aid before being referred to Srinagar for specialised treatment.
