Kashmir bus accident kills 21

Rescue operations are ongoing in the Udhampur district, with several survivors in critical condition.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has expressed his condolences and announced compensation for the families of the victims.

The accident has once again raised concerns about road safety on the region's notoriously dangerous mountain passes.

Authorities are investigating whether mechanical failure or driver error contributed to the tragedy, which is one of the deadliest in the area this year.
