Haryana school bus tragedy: In a tragic accident in Mahendragarh, Haryana, a school bus carrying students from GL Public School crashed, resulting in the death of six children and injuries to over 20 others.
The accident occurred when the bus, reportedly driven by a driver suspected of being under the influence of alcohol, rammed into a tree and overturned.
The students, ranging from Class 4 to 10, were supposed to be enjoying a holiday for Eid-ul-Fitr, but instead found themselves involved in an unspeakable tragedy.
Schoolbags and bottles scattered at the crash site serve as grim reminders of the day that should have been filled with joy and celebration.
The injured students have been rushed to local hospitals, with some in critical condition being transferred to a hospital in Rohtak for further treatment, said officials.

The driver, who allegedly jumped out of the speeding vehicle after losing control, is being investigated, with authorities conducting a medical test to ascertain if he was indeed intoxicated.
Shockingly, official documents reveal that the bus’s fitness certificate had expired six years ago, raising serious questions about safety protocols.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressed his condolences to the families of the victims and wished a speedy recovery to the injured children. He acknowledged the efforts of the state government and local administration in providing assistance to the affected families.
In the aftermath of the tragedy, questions are being raised about why the school was operating on a holiday, prompting an inquiry by the state Education Minister.
The authorities are also scrutinising the school’s management to ascertain their responsibility in the accident.
As the nation mourns the loss of innocent lives, efforts are underway to provide support to the affected families and ensure that such tragic incidents are prevented in the future through stricter enforcement of safety regulations and oversight measures.
