JAMMU: The Jammu & Kashmir Border Area Development Conference (JK_BADC), a registered organisation working for the welfare of border areas and tribal population of Jammu & Kashmir, expresses deep sorrow over the tragic bus accident on the Udhampur-Ramnagar road, in which, as reported, over 20 people have lost their lives and several others have been seriously injured.
Dr. Shazad Ahmed Malik, Chairman of JKBADC & Former Vice Chancellor, said the incident is highly unfortunate and reflects serious gaps in enforcement on hilly roads. He stressed that such recurring tragedies cannot be ignored and require immediate corrective action.
The BADC Chairman urged the administration to conduct a fair and time-bound inquiry into the matter and also demanded adequate compensation for the families of the deceased and the injured. He further urged that responsibility must be fixed on concerned authorities, particularly in cases of overloading, poor vehicle fitness, and weak monitoring by RTO and Traffic Police.
