On Thursday morning, the peaceful routine of Gilgit’s Baseen area was shattered by a horrific accident on the Gilgit-Ghizer Highway, claiming the lives of three schoolgirls and critically injuring another.

Gilgit Senior Superintendent of Police Zahoor Ahmed reported that the accident involved a Prado carrying schoolgirls, which tragically ran over four pedestrians on their way to school.

The local community and passersby responded heroically, rushing to aid the victims and transporting them to the Provincial Headquarters Hospital in Gilgit. The hospital’s officer-in-charge, Raja Amaldar Hussain, confirmed the severity of the situation. “The four girls were brought to the hospital in critical condition,” he stated. Sadly, three of the girls, all sisters, succumbed to their injuries, while their friend remains in critical condition.

The tragic event has sparked outrage and grief within the community. The three victims were daughters of Abdul Jalil, a resident whose family now faces unimaginable loss. Following the accident, locals gathered to protest the reckless driving that led to this tragedy. They blocked the highway, set the involved vehicle on fire, and called for an official inquiry to prevent future incidents.

This accident is a grim reminder of a similar tragedy last year in the Ghanche district of Gilgit-Baltistan, where three children were killed under comparable circumstances. These repeated tragedies underline the urgent need for improved road safety measures to protect Gilgit’s youngest and most vulnerable residents.
