Khanapara (Assam):Two people were killed and 25 others were brutally injured after a dumper truck; loaded with hot tar, bumped into a divider and fell on a bus in Assam's Khanapara.

The passengers en route Golaghat were travelling for the re-verification of their National Register Certificate (NRC) documents.

The Supreme Court extended the deadline for publication of final National Register of Citizens (NRC) in Assam by a month to August 31 while rejecting the pleas seeking permission for 20 per cent sample re-verification.

The Centre and the Assam government sought permission for sample re-verification to find out wrongful inclusions and exclusions of persons in the NRC.
