Tragic Accident Claims Two Lives in Mandi District
A devastating incident unfolded late on Sunday night in the Sundernagar sub-division of Mandi district. A car carrying at least two individuals met with a fatal accident. The vehicle rolled down the under-construction Salapar–Tattapani road. It plunged into the mighty Satluj river below.
Police Identify the Deceased
Local police authorities have confirmed the identities of the two victims. They were Naveen Kumar and Kuldeep Kumar. The accident occurred when the driver apparently lost control of the car. This loss of control caused the vehicle to fall down a steep gorge. It landed directly in the waters of the Satluj river.
Details of the Incident
The road where the accident happened is currently under construction. This factor may have contributed to the tragic event. The police officer stated the driver lost control. The car then tumbled down the gorge. It ended up in the river. The exact time of the accident was late Sunday night. Rescue operations likely followed, though details are sparse.
Such accidents highlight ongoing concerns about road safety. Construction zones often present additional hazards. The community in Mandi district mourns this loss. Families of Naveen Kumar and Kuldeep Kumar are grieving. Authorities continue to investigate the full circumstances.
