JAMMU: President of All J&K Jatt Sabha and former Minister, S. Manjit Singh, has demanded a probe into the tragic death of Anjali Choudhary near Udhampur. Ms. Choudhary was heading for a picnic with her GDC Gandhi Nagar colleagues when she fell off a moving bus carrying students of the college in Udhampur district. They were en route to the famous picnic spot, Patnitop.

ā€œThe facts must come before the public, and responsibility must be fixed for the loss of a bright student who was the only daughter of her parents,ā€ S. Manjit Singh said in a statement, expressing shock over the incident. He said that the incident has shaken parents, raising concerns about the safety of their children during picnics and other events organized by educational institutions.

He further stated that the government must fix responsibility and punish those responsible for failing to protect the precious life of a young girl. It is strange to understand how a window was open while the bus was moving, and the student fell out of it, sustaining a fatal injury that led to her death, he said. He also urged the government to hold the management of the concerned college accountable for its failure to ensure the safety and security of the students.
