Cuttack Bus Accident

It was a close shave for 30 people as their bus hit the guard wall of a bridge over the Mahanadi River in Odisha's Cuttack district on Tuesday, and remained hanging for quite some time before they were rescued, police said.

Two people were killed and 15 others were injured when a passenger bus carrying them turned turtle near Choudwar in Cuttack on Monday evening, police said.

Altogether 10 persons were killed in Tuesday's bus accident in Odisha's Cuttack district, and not 12 as has been reported earlier, an official of state-run SCB Medical College and Hospital said on Wednesday.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday condoled the death of seven passengers who lost their lives in the Mahanadi bridge bus accident in Odisha on Tuesday."Condolences to those who lost their loved ones due to the bus accident in Cuttack. May the injured recover at the earliest," the Prime Minister's Office tweeted.

Twelve people died today and many others were injured after a bus fell off a bridge over the Mahanadi river in Odisha's Cuttack.

For the first time in Odisha, road accident victims were on Friday airlifted and the whole exercise was coordinated by the district administration of Cuttack keeping the nearby Aviation Research Centre (ARC) at Charbatia in the loop to keep an air traffic free zone.
