Thirty-one people were killed when a passenger bus plunged into a deep gorge Wednesday in a remote part of northeast India, police said. The packed bus, carrying more than 50 people, skidded off the road and into the gorge before daybreak, in a sparsely populated area of the Indian state of Meghalaya, local police official M.K. Dkhar told AFP. “Thirty-one bodies have been retrieved,” Dkhar said, adding that 27 others had been injured.
