Amaravati, February 12

At least eight persons, including women and children, were killed when a tourist bus fell into a valley near Damuku in Andhra Pradesh’s Visakhapatnam district on Friday, the police said.

“The bus was travelling from Araku to Visakhapatnam city. It was a tourist bus and it fell into the valley near Damuku within the Ananthagiri police station limits,” Visakhapatnam Rural Superintendent of Police B Krishna Rao said.

While he put the number of deaths at four, including two women and a child, a state government statement later updated the toll to eight.

“Remaining persons are being rescued. The police have reached the spot and are shifting them to hospital,” he said. IANS

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).
