JAMMU: Shiv Sena Hindustan Jammu & Kashmir President Pandit Rajesh Kesari has expressed deep sorrow over the tragic bus accident in Udhampur, where the bus fell into an 80-feet-deep gorge, resulting in several deaths and leaving around 30 persons injured.The party prayed to the Almighty for peace to the departed souls and for the speedy recovery of the injured.
While noting that the exact cause of the accident will be determined after investigation, the statement said that the J&K Government, the Central Government, and Hon’ble Lieutenant Governor Shri Manoj Sinha have all condemned the incident, expressed grief, and ordered a strict inquiry into any kind of negligence.It was noted that Rs 2,00,000 ex-gratia has been announced by the J&K Government and Rs 2,00,000 by the Central Government for the families of the deceased, along with assistance for the injured.
Shiv Sena Hindustan, however, demanded that the government ensure completely free medical treatment for all the survivors who are injured. “The government should issue orders to the Medical College that until all the injured fully recover, they must be provided all facilities completely free of cost. Many of these families live hand-to-mouth and are in urgent need of help,” the statement said.The party appreciated the financial aid announced by the governments but stressed that free, uninterrupted treatment at the Medical College is essential to give some relief to the affected families.
The statement also urged strict action against those who drive vehicles recklessly. “Drivers must remember that along with themselves, many families are sitting in the vehicle. They should drive with utmost care. The concerned department must also pay serious attention so that such mistakes do not happen again,” Pt. Rajesh Kesari said.State Secretary Rajkumar, Vice Chairman Rajkumar Baba, and Sanjeev Sharma ji were present on the occasion.
