A tourist bus overturned and fell into a gorge near Saputara hill station in the Dang district of Gujarat on Saturday night, killing two persons and injuring at least 30 others, police said.
The accident occurred around 8 p.m. when the bus returning from Saputara overturned, broke the railings at a turning and hurtled down 50 feet into a gorge, nearly 3 kilometres from the hill station, said Superintendent of Police Ravirajsinh Jadeja.
“Two women passengers were killed and 25-30 other tourists were injured. They were rescued and taken to different hospitals for treatment,” he said, adding that the tourists were returning to Surat after visiting the hill station.

The High Court of Karnataka on Tuesday ordered the issue of a notice to the State government on a PIL petition, which had complained about disturbances caused to people residing in the localities around the National Public School situated in Rajajinagar 5th block due to use of loudspeakers with high volume in the school and parking of school buses in residential areas.
