A tragic accident in India’s Uttarakhand state has left at least seven people feared dead after a passenger bus plunged off the road.
The incident occurred on Tuesday in the Almora district, triggering a major rescue operation as authorities rushed to the site near Shilapani to assist the victims.
The bus was reportedly carrying around 12 passengers when it crashed. While rescue teams are working to evacuate the injured and recover bodies, official confirmation of the exact casualty count is still awaited.
This disaster highlights the dangers of travel on the region’s mountainous roads.
This crash comes just weeks after a similar tragedy in nearby Champawat, where five people were killed when a vehicle fell into a deep gorge.
The recurring accidents have raised concerns about road safety in the hill state, as local administration continues relief efforts.
