Four persons died and seven were seriously injured on Monday after their bus fell off a bridge over a ‘nullah’ in Maharashtra’s Amravati district, a police official said.

The incident took place near Semadoh village on the Paratwada-Dharni road at 8 am, he said.

“There were 45 passengers in the bus. Four of them died, while seven are seriously injured. Another 20 have sustained minor wounds. All the injured have been hospitalised,” he said.

Probe into the cause of the accident is underway, though, prima facie, it seems the driver lost control of the vehicle.

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).
