PM Modi expresses grief over deaths

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday expressed grief over the death of passengers in a road accident in Kannauj late on Friday in which as many as 20 people are feared dead.

Expressing condolences to the bereaved families, Modi tweeted, "I am deeply saddened to know about the horrific road accident in Uttar Pradesh's Kannauj. Several people have lost their lives in the accident. I express my condolences to the bereaved families and wish a speedy recovery to the injured persons."

The accident took place after a double-decker bus carrying at least 45 passengers collided with a truck at Dewar Marg in Kannauj district here late on Friday and subsequently went up in flames.

"A bus traveling from Kannauj to Jaipur collided with a truck at Dewar Marg in Kannauj, following which both went up in flames. Locals rushed to the spot and rescued several people from the bus," Inspector General of Police, Kanpur, Mohit Agarwal said on Saturday.

He said that 25 passengers have been safely rescued from the bus and are either receiving treatment at local hospitals or have been discharged.

On the other hand, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath had expressed condolences over the collision and announced Rs 2 lakh each compensation for the deceased and Rs 50,000 each for those grievously injured in the incident.

Adityanath also sought a report of the incident from the District Magistrate.

IG (Kanpur range) Mohit Agarwal said that around 45 people were on the bus. 25 people were rescued, 12 of them admitted at Medical College Tirwa and 11 at District hospital.

He said, "two people were completely safe and were sent home. 18-20 are missing, maybe they died but it is not certain yet. The bodies are badly burned, their bones are scattered, so only a DNA test will determine the death toll."

He further said that prima facie bodies of 8-10 people seem to be on the bus but the damage is so extensive that casualties can be determined only through a DNA test.
