SRINAGAR: A tragic incident occurred during Baisakhi celebrations in Jammu and Kashmir’s Udhampur district, as a footbridge collapsed due to overloading, resulting in the death of a nine-year-old girl and injuries to 61 people, including several children.
The collapse happened at Beni Sangam in Bain village of Chenani block.
