Three Indian Army personnel lost their lives when their truck veered off the road and fell into a gorge near Tapi in Upper Subansiri, Arunachal Pradesh. The incident occurred on the Trans-Arunachal Highway. The deceased have been identified as Havildar Nakhat Singh, Naik Mukesh Kumar, and Gadar Ashish. The exact cause of the accident is under investigation, and further details are awaited.
This tragic event follows a similar incident in June, where five soldiers were killed in eastern Ladakh. They were swept away by flash floods while their tank was crossing a river in the Daulat Beg Oldie area, near the Line of Actual Control with China.
The tank, part of a drill, sank after a sudden rise in water levels, resulting in the loss of four jawans and one Junior Commissioned Officer (JCO).The Army is currently reviewing safety measures and protocols to prevent such incidents in the future.
