BANDIPORA — A devastating incident struck the Nadihal community on Sunday after a father and son were swept away by a water body in the Surrinder area of Bandipora.
The emergency unfolded rapidly, triggering an intensive, coordinated rescue mission. Teams consisting of the Jammu and Kashmir Police, State Disaster Response Force (SDRF) personnel, and local volunteers rushed to the scene to locate the missing duo against challenging conditions.
Following relentless search efforts by the rescue teams, the father was successfully pulled from the water alive. Recognizing the severity of his condition, emergency medical teams immediately shifted him to a hospital in Srinagar for advanced medical treatment.
Tragically, the search for the son ended in heartbreak. Despite the best efforts of the rescue personnel and local volunteers, the young man could not survive the powerful currents. His body was later recovered from the water body by the search teams.
The local community has been plunged into mourning over the sudden loss. Prayers are being offered for the departed soul, as well as for the recovery of the father and the strength of the bereaved family during this deeply difficult time.
