A tragic bus accident in Uttarakhand, India, has resulted in the deaths of at least 36 people and injuries to 27 others. The overcrowded bus lost control and plunged into a deep gorge, prompting a rescue operation for survivors. Both state and federal officials have announced compensation for the victims' families, and an investigation into safety regulations has been initiated following the incident. Road accidents are prevalent in India, particularly in hilly regions where buses frequently operate beyond their capacity.
