Shillong, Jan 26: Ten people were killed early on Tuesday when a bus proceeding towards Assam's Hailakandi district rolled down a hill in Meghalaya, police said.
Four women were among the 21 injured in the accident, Inspector General of Police G.H.P. Raju told IANS.
The accident happened at Tongseng in East Jaintia Hills district, about 150 km east of Shillong, the capital of Meghalaya.
The privately-owned bus was on its way from Guwahati in Assam to Hailakandi via Meghalaya. It set out on Monday night. It rolled down 100 metres into a gorge.
