Batote-Doda road accident
The Batote-Doda road passes through mountainous terrain, where drivers can face challenging road conditions.
Accidents in the hilly areas of the Chenab Valley can occur due to a range of factors, including road conditions, vehicle faults, weather and driver-related issues.
However, no specific cause has been established in Sunday’s accident.
It would therefore be premature to attribute the crash to any particular factor until the official investigation is completed.
