District Development Commissioner Kishtwar Rajinder Singh Tara today visited the slipor Morh accident spot in Block Paddar of district kishtwar and took stock of rescue operations of missing persons in the accident there.
The accident came into the light when the tipper with 05 labourers and 01 driver namely Sandeep Kumar (Driver) S/O Prem singh R/O Kadhail,
Rajesh Kumar S/O Krishan Nand R/O Kadhail,Ravinder Kumar S/O Tota Ram R/O Jar,Rakesh Kumar S/O Vaid vyas R/O Kadhail,Jabar Singh S/O Jagdish Raj R/O Jar and
Manjeet Kumar S/O Doulat Ram R/O Sazar on board it, skidded off the road yesterday morning when it was bound for the kinthro nallah for stone lifting.
After receiving the report about the accident ,the local Administration, police and army conducted a search operation along the road side and found the parapets and bushes damaged near slipor morh. The conjuncture is being made that the persons along with the tipper might have rolled down the risky road and plunged into the river chenab before submerging into it.
The whole of the rescue operation is being keenly monitored by Hon’ble Minister of State for Prime Minister’s Office; Dr Jatindera Singh and he has communicated to DDC kishtwar for extending each and every possible help to families of those feared dead.
However no person has been traced from the spot by the rescue teams so far, as the deep gorge and fast flow of river is hampering the rescue operations.
In order to recover the missing persons, DDC has already directed the SDM Paddar ,Varun Jeet Charak to conduct intensive search out operation along with NDRF team.
