At least three school students were killed and nearly 25 others injured when a school bus fell from a bridge in Punjab's Gurdaspur district on Tuesday morning, police said.
The bus, belonging to a private school, was ferrying the students to the school in Fatehgarh Churian town near Batala, 260 km from here. The injured students were taken to hospitals in Batala and Amritsar.
