Seven tourists from Bengaluru and a local driver were feared dead in Himachal Pradesh’s Chamba district after a taxi carrying them reportedly plunged into a deep gorge on the treacherous Bairagarh-Sach Pass-Killar road in the remote Churah subdivision on Friday night.
Authorities fear that all occupants of the vehicle died in the accident. The deceased tourists included two children.
The accident, near Sach Pass, one of Himachal Pradesh’s most challenging and hazardous mountain routes, came to light only on Saturday afternoon, when locals and officials began searching for the missing vehicle from Chamba. There were no witnesses to the incident.
