A Volvo tourist bus overturned near the 17 Mile on the Kullu-Manali highway in Kullu district on Monday.

All passengers escaped unhurt. The driver, who was injured, was taken to hospital.

According to eyewitnesses, the driver lost control over the vehicle owing to a sharp turn on the hilly terrain or the slippery road conditions.

The bus, carrying 17 tourists, was going from Manali towards Kullu.

Local authorities arrived at the scene, helping passengers exit the vehicle safely.

Traffic on the Kullu-Manali route was briefly disrupted.

Kullu SP Karthikeyan Gokulachandran said the police had started a probe to find the cause of the accident.

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).
