At least 40 migrants were injured when a bus carrying them from Kerala to West Bengal skidded off the road on national highway 60, near Laxmannath toll gate, in Odisha on Thursday, police said.

While a team of doctors treated 36 of the injured at the accident spot, four of them were taken to a hospital, they said.

As many as 30 people from Bardhman district and 10 from Birbhum district, West Bengal, were returning to their native places from Malayalampur, Kerala, when the accident took place.

Arrangements were being made to send them to their destination in another bus, police said. PTI

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).
