Thirteen school children were killed and six others seriously injured in the accident that occurred around 7.10 a.m. when the children were headed to school.
"Shocked to learn about the horrific accident involving a bus carrying innocent school children in Kushinagar. Thoughts and prayers with the bereaved families and with those injured," the President tweeted.
