Six children have been killed among seven people after a bus fell in a gorge in Himachal Pradesh’s Sirmaur district.

The accident happened this morning as the bus fell in the gorge while it was transporting school children in the district’s Sangarh town and thereafter, the vehicle skidded off the road as the heavy snowfall has already taken place in the state in last few days.

The Sirmaur district is around 150 kms away from the capital city of Shimla.
