The Story in Brief
Three Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB) personnel were injured on Saturday when three vehicles in their convoy collided inside a tunnel on the Jammu-Srinagar National Highway in Ramban district. The accident occurred at Kela Morh as the convoy travelled from Srinagar towards Jammu. Officials said one vehicle braked abruptly, causing the vehicles behind to crash into each other inside the tunnel.
The injured personnel were taken to a nearby hospital. The collision, along with moderate rain, briefly disrupted traffic on the highway. However, movement resumed quickly on the only all-weather road linking Kashmir with the rest of India.
The Indian Opinion
Minor convoy accidents are often blown up as signs of major security lapses. In this case, the crash appears to be a simple chain reaction triggered by sudden braking, not a systemic failure. Officials have not blamed road conditions. The real test will be whether the highway authority or SSB issues a detailed report on driver training and vehicle spacing in tunnels.
