At least 11 were killed and 38 injured after a bus in
Maharashtra’s Nashik district was rammed by a truck early on Saturday morning.
The incident took place on the Aurangabad-Nashik Highway at around 5:15am (23:45 GMT on 7 September). Three fire engines, police and an ambulance rushed to the scene of the disaster.
Eleven passengers, including a child, have already been declared dead by hospital authorities but two other passengers were critically injured. Most passengers sustained
burn injuries.
Amol Tambe, Nashik's deputy commissioner of police, told reporters that an investigation is underway to determine the exact cause of the subsequent fire.
State chief Eknath Shinde has promised compensation of INR 500,000 ($ 6,036) to the family of each deceased passenger.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has also
announced financial assistance of INR 200,000 ($2,404) for families that lost a relation in the accident. The injured will each be given INR 50,000 ($603).
