What comes in as a shocking news is the death of at least 40 passengers due to a bus accident at Jagtial district in Telangana on Tuesday.

According to the reports, in a Telangana State Road Transport Corporation (TSRTC) bus, around 50 people were travelling when it fell into a valley off the road near Shanivarapet village. The incident took place when the bus was returning from Anjaneya Swamy temple.
