Ten students suffered minor injuries and fractures and are being taken care of at a local primary health centre in Nagrota Surian.
The incident took place when the children were going in a private school bus belonging to a computer centre, to attend Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ‘Jan Abhar Rally,’ scheduled for today, in Dharamshala.
The children were students of a skill development course and were travelling from Nagrota Surian to attend the rally. The event was organised by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) to mark the one year anniversary of the BJP Government in Himachal Pradesh.
