Jammu :  The Chib family residing in the Gho Manasa area in the outskirts of Jammu city were in a celebratory mood after the wedding of their only son but all this turned into a pall of gloom today as three members of the family — including the newlyweds — were among the seven killed in the helicopter crash at Katra.

Little did the family know that the celebratory mood of their only son Arjun Singh Chib’s (25) wedding with Vandana (22) on November 18 would turn into mourning, after the newlywed couple along with their cousin lost their lives in the tragic helicopter crash.

Three members of the family — Arjun, his wife Vandana and cousin Mahesh — were amongst the seven pilgrims who lost their lives in the crash.

“The two (Arjun and Vandana) got married on November 18. The family had given a grand reception on November 19 as it was the wedding of their only son. This morning, the newlywed couple left to pay their obeisance at the holy cave shrine of Mata Vaishno Devi,” Preetam Singh Chib, a close relative, said.

“The family was in a celebratory mood as a large number of the relatives who had come to attend the wedding were still staying with the family — his uncles and cousins were all present in the home today when the tragic news reached them,” Preetam said.
