A devastating tragedy has befallen a Hyderabad family after 18 members, including parents, siblings, and children, lost their lives in a bus crash near Madinah in Saudi Arabia. Syed Rashid, 35, who bid farewell to his family just a few days ago, is now left to grapple with the unimaginable loss. Rashid, who personally saw off his family at Hyderabad airport on November 9, had urged them not to travel together, especially with children. However, he never imagined that it would be the last time he saw them. The deceased include his parents, Shaik Naseeruddin and Akhter Begum, his brother, sister-in-law, and their three children, as well as relatives from the US and India. Another family has also suffered a catastrophic loss, with all five members perishing in the crash. The distressing news has left families gathered at Haj House in Hyderabad seeking information about their loved ones. The Al Meena Travel Agency, which had dispatched 20 pilgrims to Saudi Arabia on November 9, has confirmed that all passengers on the ill-fated bus have died. The Saudi authorities have confirmed the tragic incident, and efforts are now underway to bring back the bodies of the deceased to India. As the families struggle to come to terms with their loss, a representative of the travel agency has urged the government to ensure the swift repatriation of the bodies. The incident serves as a poignant reminder of the risks involved in traveling, especially during peak pilgrimage seasons. As the nation mourns the loss of these innocent lives, our thoughts are with the bereaved families and the loved ones left behind.
