Eighteen Amarnath pilgrims are injured in a multi-vehicle collision on the Jammu–Srinagar National Highway in Ramban district, Jammu and Kashmir. The crash involves several vehicles, including buses and a car, and takes place early Monday during the ongoing pilgrimage period. Reports from both outlets say the injured pilgrims receive medical attention at the Ramban district hospital. They are described as having only minor injuries and are in stable condition.
Police initiate an investigation to determine what led to the pile-up. Both accounts note that the highway section sees heavy Yatra traffic during the Amarnath season, increasing the likelihood of congestion and traffic-related incidents. While details on the precise sequence of events are not provided, the available information focuses on the number of people hurt, the location along the highway, the immediate response by authorities and medical staff, and the ongoing police probe into the cause of the crash.
