Forty-five passengers were killed when a private bus plunged into River Tons in remote Nerwa area of Shimla district of Himachal Pradesh today. The passengers were on their way from Vikasnagar in Uttarakhand to Tuni and the mishap took place on the Uttarakhand-HP border in Himachal territory, Deputy Commissioner Shimla, Rohan Chand Thakur said. “Going by the version of the conductor, who was one of the two survivors, we presumed that the number of passengers was 46 but now 45 deaths have been confirmed,” he said. According to reports received earlier, 56 passengers were believed to be travelling in the ill-fated bus. Locals, however, said the death toll could mount as some bodies might have been washed away in the river. Meanwhile, Chief Minister Virbhadra Singh expressed profound shock and grief over the accident and conveyed his sympathies to bereaved families. He has directed the local administration to make arrangements for sending the bodies to the home of victims after postmortem. There were more than 47 passengers in the bus and bodies of 45 victims have been recovered while two persons including the conductor, who jumped out of the bus, survived, the official said. Twenty out of the 45 deceased have been identified and 12 among them hail from Uttarakhand while eight are from Himachal Pradesh.
