\"Chhattisgarh:<\/div>\n
At least 15 people were killed and more than a dozen injured — all employees of a private firm — as the bus they were travelling in fell into a ‘murum’ soil mine pit in Chhattisgarh<\/a>‘s Durg<\/a> district on Tuesday night, police said. <\/p>\n

The accident took place around 8:30 pm near Khapri village under Kumhari police station limits when the victims, employees of a distillery company, were returning home after work, Durg Superintendent of Police Jitendra Shukla said. <\/p>\n

As per preliminary information, the bus with more than 30 people onboard skidded off the road and plunged into the 40 feet deep ‘murum’ mine, he said. <\/p>\n

“Initially 11 deaths were reported in the accident. Later four more persons died in the hospital,” he added.<\/p>\n

Murum, a type of soil, is mostly used for construction. Soon after being alerted, a police team reached the spot and launched a rescue operation, City Superintendent of Police<\/a> (Chhavni area) Harish Patil said. <\/p>\n

The injured persons were shifted to a nearby hospital, the official said. Visuals of the spot showed the bus turned turtle after falling down and a rescue operation underway to evacuate trapped passengers. Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai<\/a> expressed grief over the accident and said adequate arrangements have been made for treatment of the injured people. <\/p>\n

“Received the news about death of 11 employees of a private company in a bus accident. I pray that departed souls rest in peace and may God give strength to the bereaved family members,” Sai said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
