Tragic School Bus Overturn in Aligarh Leaves Children Hurt

Heartbreaking scenes unfolded Thursday near Aligarh's Gangiri area when a school bus flipped over on the Aligarh-Hathras highway, injuring nearly a dozen young passengers en route to school. Local police chief SP Rural Manish Kumar Mishra briefed on the mishap that has parents up in arms. As the vehicle somersaulted into a ditch, villagers heroically intervened, breaking glass panes to extract the trapped students. Quick action saw minor injury cases handled at a local health center, but one critically hurt child required advanced care at Aligarh District Hospital. Investigators point to driver error as the cause, with the bus losing grip on a sharp turn. 'We're examining the vehicle's condition and road factors,' Mishra revealed, noting seven to eight kids affected, one with serious face trauma. The stable condition of other victims offers some relief, yet the accident spotlights glaring lapses in UP's school bus regulations. Recalling Kasganj's fatal incident where little Ananya Kumari perished under similar circumstances, experts demand immediate safety audits across all educational transports.
