New Delhi, May 5 (IBNS): President of India Pranab Mukherjee has condoled the loss of lives in a bus accident in Madhya Pradesh.

In a message to Governor of Madhya Pradesh Ram Naresh Yadav the President has said, “I am saddened to learn that a bus carrying passengers met with an accident yesterday and caught fire in Madhya Pradesh’s Panna district leading to the loss of lives and injury to many. I understand relief operations are currently underway. I call upon the State Government and other agencies to provide all possible aid to the bereaved families who have lost their near and dear ones as well as medical assistance to the injured."

"Please convey my heartfelt condolences to the families of the deceased. I also wish speedy recovery to the injured persons," he said.

At least 28 people died and about 12 injured after a bus fell down from a culvert and caught fire in Panna on Monday afternoon.

The bus carrying about 42 people was going from Chhatarpur to Satna. The accident happened after the driver lost control over steering while negotiating a turn and it fell down from a culvert into a dry water body.
