In the second road mishap, as per the reports, at 7 am, a tempo traveller was carrying a passenger from Jammu to Sangaldhan. 10 people were injured after the tempo collided with a truck.
The police rushed to the spot and shifted all injured persons to District Hospital Udhampur for treatment where doctors declared one person dead.
"There is at least one road accident here due to road congestion. I want to request the administration to widen the road or do something about it, they should ask the Border Road Organisation (BRO) to look into this", said Govind Ram Sharma local from the Darsoo area of district Udhampur.
