MUZAFFARABAD: Four passengers were killed and 10 others sustained injuries when a van fell into a deep ravine along a riverside in Asgharabad, some five kilometres from Muzaffarabad, on Wednesday, police said.

The van was coming from Rahim Kot but as it was about to enter the city, it swept down into the ravine due to the road’s poor condition. Four people died on the spot.
