Sea of migrants gather at Tamil Nadu's Coimbatore for Shramik special trains
Hoping to reach their native places safely amid ongoing lockdown, nine migrants of Uttar Pradesh met with a tragedy when an ill-fated vehicle, in which they were returning from Srinagar, fell into the river Chenab on Jammu-Srinagar national highway.
Seven out of a total of nine migrants traveling in the vehicle feared to have died as the body of only one person has been retrieved so far while six others were reportedly washed away in the mighty river.
A senior police officer engaged in the rescue operation told International Business Times that three persons were rescued during a 12-hour long search operation out of which one individual succumbed to his injuries while two others were seriously injured.
