    Madhya Pradesh: 13 dead as bus falls into Narmada river
    13 bodies have been recovered and five have been identified in the accident that took place at Madhya Pradesh's Dhar district on Monday.

    In a tragic incident, a bus going from Indore to Pune fell into the Narmada river in the Dhar district of Madhya Pradesh on Monday. The bus, carrying 40-50 passengers, skid off the Kalaghat bridge, and fell from a height of 100 feet. At least 13 died in the accident, and 15 have been rescued by the State Disaster Response Force (SDRF).

    Bus broke the bridge's railing

    The Maharashtra Roadways bus skid off the Kalaghat bridge, located about 90 kilometers from Indore, on Monday morning. A crane was used to pull the bus out of the water which had completely submerged into the raging Narmada river. "The accident may have occurred due to a brake or steering failure," MP Home Minister Narottam Mishra said, adding that rescue operations are going on.
