Bus falls into gorge in Bihar, many feared drowned
The ill-fated bus was on way to Sitamarhi district from Madhubani, when it lost its control and felled into a road-side gorge filled with water.
The incident took place near Basaitha village under Benipatti block.
Some 40-50 passengers were aboard the bus. Authorities say there are only remote chances of passengers surviving the tragedy given the fact that the gorge is too deep.
The bus remains submerged in water for the past two hours.
Rescue teams have rushed to the spot and are trying to fish out bodies. So far, four bodies have been fished out, local television channels have reported.
