Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge said, "Deeply pained to hear about the terrible tragedy in Jammu and Kashmir's Bandipora, where Indian Army soldiers have lost their lives due to a vehicle accident. We salute their selfless service to the nation. Our heartfelt condolences to the families of our bravehearts. Our thoughts and prayers are with the injured soldiers and we wish them a complete and a speedy recovery. Last week, a similar incident took place in Poonch where five soldiers were martyred. We urge the authorities to take appropriate measures to avoid such accidents due to inclement weather conditions and take adequate safety measures in the future."

Earlier, Chinar Corps of the Indian Army confirmed that three soldiers had lost their lives in the accident.

"Today while performing duty in Bandipora District, a vehicle of the Indian Army skidded and fell into the gorge due to inclement weather and poor visibility conditions. Tragically three Bravehearts lost their lives in the unfortunate accident," read the Chinar corps tweet.

"The three people have been referred for Srinagar for the medical treatment. We immediately sent our ambulance upon receiving the information of the accident.." said the Medical Superintendent of Bandipora district hospital while speaking to ANI. (ANI)
