Sixteen tourists were injured when a private bus they were travelling in overturned on the outskirts of Himachal Pradesh’s Bilaspur city on Friday, police said.

The incident occurred at around 2 am when the bus was on its way from Manali to Chandigarh, they said.

Of the total injured, three have been referred to PGI Chandigarh and as many are undergoing treatment at Bilaspur while others were discharged after administering first aid, Bilaspur Deputy Commissioner Pankaj Rai said.

Preliminary investigation pointed out that the bus driver was unable to negotiate a curve and the bus overturned, police said.

A case of negligent driving has been registered against the driver and further investigation was under way, they said.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
