At a tender age of 2, Dwarika lost her entire family — both parents and an elder sister — in Uttarakhand’s worst bus accident in recent years that took place in Pauri on Sunday.

Dwarika’s father Vinod Singh Bisht, 30, who served at the 9th regiment of Garhwal Rifles died in the accident along with her mother 27 year-old Sunita Devi and sister Archana, 6. Dwarika will now have to be taken care by her relatives.

The family was on its way to their native village for summer vacations. “The girl was handed over to her relatives after initial medical care. Her entire family died in the accident,” said Jagat Ram Joshi, senior superintendent of police (SSP) Pauri.

Dwarika wasn’t alone. Of the 12 survivors of the accident which claimed 48 lives, seven are minors.

According to the police, most of these children have lost either of their parents or relatives in the accident.

As per the details provided by the police department, 12 year-old Vivek Singh lost his father Bharat Singh, a resident of Bhaun Pauri in the accident. Vivek is admitted in Ramnagar hospital and his condition is stable, police said.

Another survivor 4 year-old Himanshu, son of Bhajan Singh resident of Bhaniyawala in Dehradun, also survived. His father was not on the list of those who died.
