Monday, January 10, 2005 (Bijapur):
Fifty people are feared dead after a Karnataka State Road
Transport Corporation bus fell into the Almatti canal early
this morning.
The bus was headed from Hubli to Chittapur in Gulbarga
district when the accident happened.
The waters of the Almatti canal, 60 kilometres from Bijapur
in north Karnataka, have been stopped to help in the rescue
effort.
Twenty-seven bodies have been recovered so far.
Few survivors
Simant Kumar Singh, superintendent of police, Bijapur, said
seven people, including the bus conductor, were injured in
the accident.
They have been taken to Bijapur hospital.
The chances of finding more survivors are bleak, according to
Singh, since the water level in the canal is high.
The SP held the driver possibly lost control near a bend in
the road and the bus plunged into the canal, built on the
Upper Krishna River Project. (With PTI inputs)
