The passenger bus was plying between Mizoram capital Aizawl and Farkawn village, bordering Myanmar. While approaching Champhai town late Friday, it rolled down into the 100-feet deep gorge in Buang village in eastern Mizoram, a police official said.
While six people died on the spot, two succumbed to their injuries at the Champhai district government hospital. Fifteen of the injured are said to be in a critical condition. The bus was carrying 42 passengers.
