7 CRPF personnel injured in Srinagar as vehicle plunges into canal

SRINAGAR: At least seven Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) personnel were injured after their vehicle plunged into a canal in Srinagar Saturday morning. The driver allegedly lost control of the vehicle, which skidded off the road in Ahmadnagar area on the city’s outskirts.

The injured personnel were rushed to the Shri Kashmir Institute of Medical Sciences for treatment. “All seven are stable,” an official said. The vehicle was later retrieved from the canal.

In a separate incident, a suspicious object was detected and neutralised in Ganderbal. SSP Khalil Ahmad Poswal said the object was found along the Safapora-Ganderbal road Saturday morning prompting security forces to cordon off the area and restrict traffic as a precautionary measure. “We are not sure whether it was an IED. We are investigating it,” Poswal told TOI. A bomb disposal squad was called, and the object was neutralised. Police have not yet issued any statement on the incident.
