HP School Bus Accident: Families perform last rites
Families performed last rites of the children who died in a school bus accident in Himachal Pradesh, here on Tuesday. 27 children and two teachers were killed when a school bus plunged 328 feet into a gorge in Himachal Pradesh’s Malkwal.
All the kids were between 5 and 14 years.
The bus belonging to the Wazir Ram Singh Pathania private school had left the campus at around 3 pm. It had barely covered 6 km when the driver is believed to have lost control of the bus, resulting in the fatal plunge. A local woman who had taken a lift on the bus a few minutes earlier was among the dead.
