At least ten pilgrims were injured on Sunday when three buses in the Amarnath Yatra convoy collided en route to a base camp in Jammu and Kashmir’s Kulgam district, officials said.
They said that the incident occurred near the Tachloo crossing on the highway, when the convoy heading towards Baltal met with an accident involving three buses.
“More than ten people sustained injuries and were shifted to a nearby hospital for treatment,” the official said, adding that all three buses sustained damage in the collision.
A doctor at Qaimoh Hospital told KNO that nine injured pilgrims received first aid at a nearby facility before being transferred to Government Medical College (GMC), Anantnag.
“All of them have sustained minor injuries and are in stable condition. They were referred to GMC for further medical treatment and necessary formalities,” the doctor said.
Officials confirmed that other passengers from the affected buses were moved to reserve vehicles, and the convoy continued its onward journey.
