Qazigund, April 28,: A minor girl injured in a road accident in the Qazigund area of south Kashmir’s Kulgam district has succumbed to her injuries at SKIMS Soura, officials said on Tuesday.
The deceased has been identified as Fatima Jan, daughter of Mohammad Altaf Parray, a resident of Shampora Qazigund. She was critically injured after an i20 car hit three school students on the Kulbagh–Qazi Mohalla Link Road on Monday afternoon.
