An Uttarakhand Roadways bus overturned in Pauri district of the state on Thursday morning, leaving 24 passengers injured, officials said.

The accident took place between Chandi bridge and Bhimgoda at around 5am when the bus was on its way from Tanakpur to Rishikesh, the State Emergency Operation Centre (SEOC) said.

Of the 35 passengers, 11 escaped unhurt, it said, adding that the injured were admitted to a district hospital in Haridwar.

Intermittent rain in various parts of the state over the past few days has led to a series of landslides leaving 139 rural motor roads, three state highways, one national highway and three border roads in 10 districts blocked by mounds of rubble.

Efforts are under way to open the roads for traffic, the SEOC added.

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).
