3 Army Personnel Killed, Others Injured in Arunachal Pradesh Gorge Accident
New Delhi: Three Army personnel lost their lives, and several others sustained injuries when their truck skidded off the road and plunged into a deep gorge in Arunachal Pradesh’s Upper Subansiri district. The tragic incident occurred around 6 a.m. on Tuesday on the Trans Arunachal Highway near Tapi village, according to local police reports.
The victims of the accident were identified as Havildar Nakhat Singh, Naik Mukesh Kumar, and Grenadier Ashish Kumar, Army sources confirmed. The soldiers were traveling along the highway when their vehicle lost control, leading to the fatal accident. The steep and treacherous terrain of the area is often challenging for motorists, particularly in the early hours when visibility can be low.
Emergency response teams were quickly dispatched to the site of the accident to rescue the injured and recover the bodies of the deceased. The injured soldiers were rushed to a nearby medical facility for treatment. The extent of their injuries is yet to be disclosed.
This incident underscores the inherent risks faced by military personnel operating in remote and difficult terrains like Arunachal Pradesh. The Trans Arunachal Highway, which stretches through the mountainous regions of the state, is a vital but perilous route for both civilians and the armed forces.
The Army and local authorities are conducting an investigation into the exact cause of the accident. Meanwhile, the tragic loss of Havildar Nakhat Singh, Naik Mukesh Kumar, and Grenadier Ashish Kumar has cast a pall of grief over their families and comrades, who mourn their untimely demise.
