Three people lost their lives in a tragic road accident in Almora, Uttarakhand. The mishap occurred in the Bhaterojkhan area, sending shockwaves across the entire region. Upon reaching the scene, the police took custody of the three bodies and sent them to a hospital for a post-mortem examination. Subsequently, the police initiated further proceedings regarding the incident.
According to reports, the ‘Dial 112’ service received a tip-off stating that a vehicle’s license plate (bearing registration number UK04 F 6683) was lying on the road, and an injured individual was visible nearby; however, the vehicle itself was missing from the spot. It was suspected that the vehicle had plunged into a gorge. Acting swiftly on this information, teams comprising personnel from the Bhaterojkhan Police Station, the SDRF (State Disaster Response Force), the ‘108’ emergency service, as well as the Revenue and Health Departments, rushed to the scene.
During the ensuing rescue operation, the car—which had fallen into the gorge—was recovered. The three occupants of the vehicle were extricated, but by that time, they had already succumbed to their injuries. It was reported that three young men were inside the car at the time of the accident. The crash was of such severity that the vehicle was completely wrecked.
It was revealed that the three youths were practitioners of ‘Jagar’ (a traditional folk ritual) and were returning late at night from a Jagar performance held in the village of Chamoli Pusaila. A wave of mourning has swept across the entire region in the wake of this tragedy. The police have successfully retrieved the bodies, sent them to the mortuary in Ranikhet, and have officially commenced an investigation into the matter.
Earlier, on the Mussoorie-Dehradun road, a truck plunged into a 100-meter-deep gorge, resulting in the death of the driver while the helper sustained critical injuries. This incident on the Mussoorie-Dehradun route occurred in the early hours of Wednesday morning. It was reported that the truck—laden with rations and cold drinks—fell into a ravine approximately 100 meters deep while traveling towards Dehradun.
According to the police, the truck was transporting cold drinks, cooking oil, and other ration supplies from the Dehradun Railway Station to Uttarkashi. During the journey, the driver suddenly lost control of the vehicle, causing the truck to veer off the road and plummet into the gorge. The driver, identified as Mubarak—a resident of Timli (under the jurisdiction of Sahaspur Police Station), Dehradun—died on the spot as a result of the accident. Meanwhile, the helper, Sajid, was critically injured.
