A devastating landslide in Jammu and Kashmir’s Reasi district has claimed the lives of a Jammu and Kashmir Administrative Services (JKAS) officer and his eight-year-old son. Five other relatives were injured in the incident, which occurred late Friday evening.
Officials reported that the tragedy unfolded when a vehicle carrying the family was traveling on the Thoru Pattian road in Thuro Tehsil. A landslide at Sulkh Pattian caused debris to fall directly onto their vehicle.
Rajinder Singh, a 2011-batch JKAS officer currently serving as Sub-Divisional Magistrate (SDM) in Ramnagar, Udhampur district, and his young son died instantly at the scene.
The five injured passengers, including the officer’s wife and other family members, were immediately transported to a hospital for treatment.
