Two MSRTC Buses Narrowly Avoid Gorge Falls in Maharashtra; Four Injured
On Sunday, two Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation (MSRTC) buses traveling from Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar to Surat narrowly avoided plunging into deep gorges at Outram Ghat and Kannad Ghat. Both incidents involved sudden steering failures that caused the buses to veer toward the edge of the roads. Safety barriers and quick driver actions prevented major tragedies. While all passengers were evacuated safely, four sustained minor injuries and received hospital treatment. Authorities are investigating the steering malfunctions in both cases.
