At least one person was killed and 25 others were injured when a Tripura-bound bus fell off the road and rolled down into a 150-feet gorge in Meghalaya's East Jaintia Hills district around midnight last night.
Additional Deputy Commissioner K Nongbri said at least one person has died in the accident which took place at about midnight in the accident-prone stretch of NH 44 at Ratacherra area.
He said the 25 injured were rushed to a hospital.
The night bus from Guwahati was bound for Tripura and police and fire personnel have rushed to the accident site, he said.
The firemen's help is being taken to pull out the bus from the gorge.
However, details are awaited due to bad connectivity.
NH 44 is the only national highway that links Agartala with the rest of the seven NE states.
