In October last year, several people died in two similar accidents. In Uttarakhand’s Bageshwar district, five tourists from West Bengal were killed and 15 were injured after their vehicle overturned near Betop drain of Farsali and fell into a gorge after colliding with another car.

In the other incident, 13 people lost their lives while many others were left injured after the utility bus they were travelling in fell into a gorge in Uttarakhand’s Chakrata. Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced an ex-gratia of Rs 2 lakh each for the kin of the deceased and Rs 50,000 for those who were injured in the incident.
