In Assam, at least 34 people were killed and 14 others injured in two separate road accidents late last night in Kamrup and Golaghat districts. AIR Guwahati Correspondent reports that 29 people died when a bus, carrying a marriage party, plunged into a roadside deep pond after losing its control at Sorabori near Hajo in Kamrup district. The dead included the bridegroom, the driver besides seven women and three children. The ill-fated bus, with around 43 passengers, was proceeding to Tihu in Nalbari district from Lokhra in Guwahati when the incident took place. The divers of National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) with the help of the local people have taken up fishing operation to recover the remaining bodies from the pond. The death toll may go up further as search operation is still on. The ill-fated bus has since been taken out of the pond. Six persons, who were rescued by the local people, have been admitted to nearby Mukunda Kakoti Nalbari Civil Hospital. In another incident, five persons were charred to death when a speeding oil-carrying tanker caught fire after it skidded off the road and fell into a gorge at Bongaon in Golaghat district early Tuesday morning. 14 persons who came to the accident site to see the incident were reportedly injured due to a burst in the tanker and oil spill. Meanwhile, the State Chief Minister Mr. Tarun Gogoi has directed the District authorities to conduct high-level inquiries into both the accidents. He has also announced an ex-gratia of one lakh rupees to the next kin of those killed and fifty thousand rupees to the injured.
