Corroboration: 2 independent outlets

One person was killed and two to four others injured after rocks slid during road construction work on the Sawjian-Gulmarg road in Poonch district on Monday (19 October). Greater Kashmir reports that a large rock slid onto workers of the General Reserve Engineer Force (GREF), killing one labourer and seriously injuring two. Rising Kashmir puts the toll at one dead and four injured, and identifies the deceased as Mohd Bashir (45), son of Ali Mohd, a resident of Danna Gagrian in Sawajian. The injured were taken to a nearby hospital. Rising Kashmir adds that cognisance of the incident has been taken and an investigation is underway.

## Indian Opinion Analysis

Both outlets report the same incident in straight news style with no discernible slant. Greater Kashmir mentions the General Reserve Engineer Force and puts the injured at two, Rising Kashmir names the deceased and puts the injured at four. Neither source carries any government or critical framing. The difference in the injury count is the only substantive variance, a reader should treat the figures as unconfirmed until an official tally is released. Rising Kashmir states that an investigation is underway.
