A private bus lost control and plunged into a road-side agricultural field near Thiruppanandhal in neighbouring Thanjavur district on Tuesday. The conductor sustained a simple injury on his hand.
Police sources said the bus was on its way to Ariyalur from Kumbakonam when the vehicle skidded off the road and plunged into the field. There were 10 passengers in the bus, said police sources. Thiruppanandal police are investigating.

The Centre has rejected reports that the definition of the Aravalli hills was changed to permit large-scale mining, citing a Supreme Court-ordered freeze on new leases. It said a court-approved framework will bring over 90% of the Aravalli region under protected areas and strengthen safeguards against illegal mining. The clarification follows controversy over the “100-metre” criterion used to define hills across states.
