    It is very sad. RIP those killed and speedy recovery of those injured. Buses and any other vehicles should be in top driving condition while on such Ghats with hairpin bends and curvy roads. It would have been worst as this bus toppled only once otherwise?????

    the vehicles moving in ghat sections to be maintained properly. Blaming the driver will not help as accident has taken place already. May the souls of deceased rest in peace.Nothing is certain in this world other than death.
