Nine pilgrims from Kurukshetra were injured after a truck they were travelling in fell into a ravine near Pirnagah in Himachal Pradesh’s Una district, police said on Thursday.
According to police, the truck with around 15 devotees on board from Pehowa in Kurukshetra had gone to pay obeisance at the Dera Baba Vadbhag Singh Maidi and Pir Nigah in Una district.
While returning from Una at around 11 pm on Wednesday, the driver lost control, and the truck plunged off the road into a deep ravine. The injured devotees were rushed to the regional hospital in Una, from where four were referred to the PGIMR in Chandigarh for advanced treatment.
Police have registered a case under relevant sections of the BNS and the Motor Vehicles Act against the truck driver, Sahib Singh, based on a complaint lodged by Sanjay, a resident of Kurukshetra.
