  "account": "A private bus carrying seven passengers crashed and overturned in the Chamba district of Himachal Pradesh on Saturday morning, resulting in the deaths of six people and injuries to eleven others, according to officials cited by PTI. The bus was en route to Chamba from Bairagarh when it overturned near Chalunj Mor, a sharp curve in the Bairagarh-Tissa road. The treacherous mountainous terrain, known for steep drop-offs and narrow paths, may have contributed to the accident. The deceased victims, all from the Churah area, have been identified as Jagdev, Desh Raj, Jahdehi, Hardehi, Neelam, driver Roop Singh, and conductor Tej Singh. Eleven injured individuals, including five minors, have been rushed to hospitals for treatment. Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu have expressed their condolences to the affected families. Rescue operations are underway by multiple agencies, and the police are investigating the cause of the accident.",
