In South Goa on Thursday morning, a school bus carrying 34 students overturned near Balli village, resulting in injuries to fourteen students, four of whom sustained serious injuries, according to a senior police official. The bus, en route to Cuncolim United Higher Secondary School, veered off the main road, entered a field, and flipped over. The ‘Bal Rath’ program of the state government had sanctioned the bus to the school.
Four seriously injured students were promptly transferred to the state-run District Hospital in Margao town, where their condition is reported to be stable. Additionally, ten students sustained minor injuries. Preliminary investigations suggest that the bus’s steering wheel malfunctioned, causing it to veer off the road and overturn in a nearby field. Further details on the incident are awaited.
