A bus carrying Border Security Force (BSF) personnel on election duty met with a tragic accident in the Brell Waterhail area of Budgam district, Jammu and Kashmir. The vehicle slipped off a hilly road and fell into a gorge, resulting in the deaths of three BSF personnel and injuries to 32 others.
The death toll may rise as rescue operations continue, and the injured have been admitted to Khan Sahib and Budgam hospitals. The bus was transporting soldiers from Pulwama to Budgam for the second phase of the Jammu and Kashmir assembly elections in 2024 when the incident occurred.
