1 die, 13 injured in mishap

One person died and 13 others were injured when a Tripura-bound bus met with an accident in Meghalaya's East Jaintia Hills district early today, officials said.
The accident took place at around 4 am at the accident-prone stretches of the NH 44 at Ratacherra, the officials said.
"Till noon, we are not getting any updates on the ground except that one person had died and 13 others injured in the accident," an Additional Deputy Commissioner told PTI.
NH 44 is also the only National Highway that links Agartala with the rest of the seven NE states.
