Seven passengers died after a bus travelling from Dwarahat to Ramnagar plunged hundreds of feet into a steep ravine in Uttarakhand's Almora district on December 30. Eleven others were critically injured in the horrific accident. Relief and rescue teams were rushed to the spot, who shifted the injured to the Bhikiyainsain Hospital. Preliminary reports suggested the driver lost control of the bus on a sharp curve. However, a technical fault could also be the reason for the fatal fall.
