A tragic incident unfolded in Udhampur district, Jammu and Kashmir, where a woman passed away due to shock upon learning about her son’s demise. The son, identified as Irshad Ahmed from Larana village, fell from a tree in a forest area, leading to his immediate death. Upon receiving the news, the mother, Zaitoon Begum, collapsed and despite medical efforts, she also succumbed while undergoing treatment at a hospital.
The untimely deaths of Irshad Ahmed and his mother have plunged the entire Larana village into sorrow, with locals expressing deep sadness over the heartbreaking events. Authorities have confirmed that there is no suspicion of foul play in either of the deaths, and legal formalities have been duly completed. The community in Larana village mourns the loss of two lives within a short timeframe, emphasizing the profound impact on the family.
Residents of Larana village, predominantly from the Gujjar and Bakarwal communities, heavily rely on firewood collected from forests for their daily needs, especially during the severe winter months. These families, known for their semi-nomadic lifestyle, migrate with their livestock to the Kashmir Valley during summers and return to their hilly homes in districts like Poonch, Rajouri, and Udhampur post-autumn.
