In a devastating road accident in Uttarakhand’s Chamoli district, five individuals lost their lives after a car plunged into a deep gorge near Gwadi village on the Birahi-Nijmula motor road on Friday evening. The victims, all residents of Golim village, were returning home from a wedding ceremony when the vehicle veered off the road and fell approximately 300 meters into the ravine.

Uttarakhand CM Expresses Condolences Over Tragedy
Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami expressed profound grief over the incident and extended his heartfelt condolences to the bereaved families. The Chief Minister also instructed the Chamoli district administration to provide all necessary assistance and compensation to the families of the deceased. In a public statement, he prayed for the peace of the departed souls and strength for their families in this time of sorrow.
Rescue Efforts Hampered by Inclement Weather
Emergency personnel were quickly deployed to the site of the accident. However, ongoing heavy rainfall in the region has significantly hampered rescue and recovery operations. Police and disaster response teams are continuing their efforts to recover the bodies and secure the area. The car involved was carrying five individuals at the time of the accident, and all were declared dead on the spot.
Authorities Urge Caution Amid Challenging Weather Conditions
Local authorities have urged residents and drivers to exercise caution while traveling on mountainous roads, particularly during adverse weather conditions. The hilly terrain of Chamoli, combined with rain-slick roads, increases the risk of such tragic incidents. Investigations are underway to determine the exact cause of the accident, but early reports suggest that the driver may have lost control due to slippery conditions.
