A tourist bus from Jaipur to Jammu turned following an accident at Naimajara village here on Saturday morning.

There were about 22 passengers on board when the mishap occurred. However, none of them got seriously injured. A few passengers suffered minor bruises.

Bus helper Jatinder said, "The bus had just started off from a dhaba after taking a tea break around 6:30 am. A bike suddenly came in on the highway from an internal road. Our driver was trying to save the biker from getting hit and in the process lost balance. The bus turned but thankfully all the passengers are safe".

The Nawanshahr police team reached the spot.

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).
