Ramban, 30 July (H.S.): Two teachers tragically lost their lives after their bike was swept away by a flash flood near Jalebi Morh Nallah in the Batote area on Tuesday.

The victims, identified as Jagdev Singh Thakur and Sanjay Sharma—both residents of Ghordi Block in Udhampur district—were on their way to work when the swollen stream overpowered their vehicle.

The incident occurred amid heavy rainfall that caused a sudden rise in water levels.

According to the Station House Officer (SHO) Batote, Vijay Kotwal, both bodies were recovered from the stream and shifted to District Hospital Ramban for post-mortem.

Meanwhile, police have started further investigation into the matter.
