A devastating bus accident in northern India has resulted in at least 36 fatalities after the vehicle plunged into a 60-meter gorge. Carrying around 60 passengers despite having only 42 seats, the bus reportedly lost control due to poor maintenance. Rescue teams are still assessing the situation, anticipating that the death toll may rise. Among the injured, seven individuals remain in critical condition. The incident has led to the suspension of two transportation officials who approved the bus. Traffic accidents in India are common, often attributed to reckless driving and poorly maintained vehicles.
