Local Muslim neighbours of a Bhaskar Nath who passed away in a Srinagar Hospital on Saturday morning, shouldered his dead body for miles amid heavy snowfall.
Locals told The Kashmiriyat that the amublance in which the dead body of the deceased was being carried could not move ahead in Shopian due to heavy snowfall in the area.
The Locals spotted the ambulance and after failing to make it cross the snow covered road, the locals took out the dead body and carried it on their own shoulders for a distance of more at least 10 Kimoetres to Pargochi.
As per the Locals, the ambulance driver had called the family of the deceased who informed their muslim neighbours and without any hesitation rushed to the spot and carried Bhaskar on their shoulders.
Later, upon reaching Pargochi, the locals made all the arangements for the last rites of the local Pandit.
Survived by a son and three daughters, Bhaskar was among the small group of Pandits who stayed in the Kashmir valley after the mass migration of KAshmiri panidyts in 1990.
