A school bus overturned after its tyres got stuck in the adjoining fields

A school bus overturned after its tyres got stuck in the adjoining fields. This accident took place while the bus driver was trying to overtake a car. At least 12 students and three teachers sustained injuries in the accident. Jasbir Singh, the driver, a resident of Pherurahin village, however, managed to escape from the spot.

Agitated parents and the locals stormed the school premises and damaged the office. They also staged a dharna in the main chowk of Bassian village for about an hour. The dharna was lifted after Prithipal Singh, DSP, told the protesters that stern action would be taken against the offenders.
