Altaf Bukhari shocked over loss of lives in Doda mishap

Srinagar, Nov 15 : Apni Party President Syed Mohammed Altaf Bukhari has expressed his grief and sorrow over a tragic road accident at Assar in District Doda that has resulted into the death of dozens of people and injuries to many others.

In a statement, Altaf Bukhari has expressed deep shock over the road accident and demanded immediate airlifting of the critically injured persons to the Srinagar or Jammu Government Hospital or out of J&K for specialised treatment.

“The critically injured should be provided specialised treatment on priority basis,” said Bukhari while demanding adequate compensation for the next of kins who lost their lives in the road accident at Assar.

He expressed sympathy with the bereaved family members who lost their loved ones in the road mishap and demanded compensation to all the victims of the road accident. He said that the government should order a detailed investigation into the road accident at Assar and accused persons should be brought to book. The roads in Chenab Valley have become a death trap and the authorities concerned have failed to fix problems on the road that connects Jammu – Doda – Ramban - Kishtwar.

“The traffic police should act against the overloading and speedy vehicles on the hilly roads that often lead to fatal road accidents and loss of lives. The transport department and traffic police should work in coordination so that the traffic rule violators can be identified, and action can be taken accordingly,” he said.
