The Story in Brief
At least 28 young women were injured when a mini-bus overturned on a flyover near Super Speciality Hospital in Jammu on Sunday night. The women, aged 18 to 25, were returning from a Tiranga Yatra held as part of the 'Nari Veerangana' project, an initiative of BJP-affiliated NGOs aimed at women's empowerment.
The injured were taken to Government Medical College hospital and are reported out of danger, officials said. Chief Minister Omar Abdullah expressed anguish and ordered full medical care. BJP MLA Yudhvir Sethi said two women needed further attention, but no life-threatening injuries were reported.
The Indian Opinion
The accident involving participants of a BJP-linked project has drawn predictable social media accusations of political irresponsibility. Yet officials reported swift medical response and stable conditions. The real test is whether road safety audits will follow for such public events, or if this will be forgotten in partisan finger-pointing.
