JAMMU: An 11-year-old girl died after a shooting stone hit her during a landslide triggered by incessant rains in a remote village in J&K’s Poonch district on Thursday.
Police said Afiya Kousar, a resident of Chak Bonalla area in Mendhar tehsil, died on the spot. A case was registered in this connection.
In May last year, a 13-year-old girl from neighbouring Rajouri district died in a similar accident. Shazia Akhter was passing through a landslide prone area near her village, Dandote in Budhal, when a rolling boulder hit her, leading to her death.
