Over 20 Indians were injured when the bus they were travelling in met with an accident in Dang district in southern Nepal on Friday, the police said.

The bus, bearing an Indian number plate, came from Lucknow in Uttar Pradesh and was heading towards the famous tourist spot, Pokhara in Nepal, when it hit a wall at a turning due to brake failure, said a police official said.

The accident took place in the Chisapani area of the Gadhwa rural municipality of Dang district.

The police have detained the bus driver for interrogation, the official added.

There were 25 people, including the driver, in the vehicle. Of them, 21 who suffered injuries, were rescued by the Nepal police personnel and sent to a local hospital for initial treatment.

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).
