Six women die as a jeep falls into a ravine in AJK

Six women passed away on Sunday when their jeep lost control and dropped in a ravine in Neelum Valley. The women were travelling from their polling station near Dodhniyal. Post the accident, the polling station was suspended temporarily.

Along with the deceased, five people including three women were severely injured. The injured were shifted to BHU hospital.

Since the winters here, the roads of the northern Pakistan can be dangerous to drive on and we need to take all the required safety measures. The roads in winter become slippery due to snowfall and landslides which makes the chances of vehicle related accidents higher. The roads in the northern areas are in a dire need of repairing as we see a lot of broken patches on the road which can also contribute to road accidents.

It may be noted here that elections are taking place throughout Azad Kashmir and it is important that everyone who is travelling to the polling stations be careful to avoid any more of such unfortunate accidents.
