Five members of a family died of suffocation on Sunday in Jammu and Kashmir’s Srinagar district.<\/p>\n
Officials said that 5 members of a family including a couple and their 3 children died of suffocation in Pandrathan area of Srinagar district.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe family originally hailing from Baramulla district were living in a rented accommodation in Pandrathan area. They fell unconscious due to suffocation and were shifted to hospital where doctors said they were dead on arrival.”<\/p>\n
Chief minister, Omar Abdullah has expressed shock at the tragedy.<\/p>\n
Omar Abdullah expressed profound grief and sorrow over the tragic death of five family members in the Pandrathan area of Srinagar city.<\/p>\n
In an official handout, the Chief Minister conveyed his deepest condolences to the bereaved relatives praying for strength and patience to help them cope with this irreparable loss.<\/p>\n
While praying for the departed souls, the Chief Minister urged people to exercise utmost caution while using heating gadgets during the harsh winter months.<\/p>\n
He emphasised the importance of adhering to government-issued advisories on the safe use of heating equipment to prevent such tragic incidents. In extreme winter cold, people sometimes unmindfully use LPG heaters in their rooms.<\/p>\n
These gas heaters produce carbon monoxide and in a room completely closed without any fresh air passing through, such appliances prove fatal.<\/p>\n
Health department officials regularly issue advisories against the use of gas heaters in closed environment. People are warned of the fatal consequences of using such heating gadgets.<\/p>\n
The best heating appliances are those whose emissions are discharged outside the room\/space where these are used.<\/p>\n
Earlier on Sunday, four occupants of an ill-fated vehicle died when the vehicle went out of the driver’s control and dropped into a gorge in Massu Kishtwar.<\/p>\n
On Saturday, four army soldiers were killed and one injured when an army vehicle met an accident after the driver lost control on the wheel at Saderkoot Payeen area of Bandipora district.<\/p>\n
