Heartbreaking Farewell: Tral youth laid to rest after tragic demise in Canada

SRINAGAR — A 26-year-old youth, who hails from south Kashmir’s Tral area and was working in Canada, was laid to rest in his native place days after his death.

Locals told the news agency CNS that the deceased, Mehran Ahmad Mir (26), had gone to Canada recently in pursuit of his work. They said that Mir died there due to a ‘heart attack’ on July 30 and his body reached his home in Civil Lines, Tral today (Monday) for the last rites.
