A passenger was killed while several others were injured after a bus, in which they were travelling, overturned in Madhya Pradesh’s Barwani district on Friday

The tragic incident occurred in Khetiya town, located on the left bank of the Narmada, in Barwani. The pilgrims were going to ‘Prakasha’, a significant Hindu pilgrimage site in the Nandurbar district of northern Maharashtra.

Pilgrims had come from Omkareshwar in neighbouring Khandwa and participated in Narmada Parikrama (spiritual journey) in Barwani. After completing Narmada Parikrama, they were going to ‘Prakasha’.

Upon receiving information, a team from the Khetiya Police Station swung into action and rescued the passengers with support from the residents. Injured persons were rushed to a nearby hospital in multiple ambulances.
