SRINAGAR, Nov 30: At least 37 people were killed in occupied Kashmir on Saturday when a minibus plunged into a ravine.
The bus, which was so full there were passengers sitting on the roof, was on its way from Doda town to the small town of Marmat.
“The minibus, meant for 35 people at the most, was carrying more than 60 people when the accident took place,” a police spokesman said.
He said the minibus turned over as the driver lost control while negotiating a sharp curve near the village of Khaliyaneh.
It fell into a 30-metre deep ditch, killing 37 people. Around 25 people were injured and many were in a serious condition, he said.—AFP
