Srinagar, Kashmir - At least 15 people were killed and more than 35 injured Wednesday when their bus fell into a gorge in India's northern state of Jammu and Kashmir, police said.

The accident occurred when the driver lost control of the bus at Sher-Bibi near the Banihal pass, about 80 kilometres south of the state's summer capital, Srinagar. The bus was on its way to Srinagar from the state's winter capital, Jammu, 150 kilometres to the south.

Eleven people died on the spot while four succumbed to their injuries on the way to hospital.

Srinagar, July 20 : Kashmir has a bumper crop of plums this season and farmers hope that the total turnover will be around 500 metric tones.

"Last year it was only 2 to 2.5 thousand tones because of adverse weather conditions and this year the target is 500 metric tones," said M S Qasba, Director, Department of Horticulture.

"This year the crop has been very good because snowfall took place at the right time. The plums are juicy and very sweet this year," said Zahoor Ahmad, a plum dealer.

Kashmir, known for its meadows, pine forests and snow-capped peaks, is popular for its fruits and dry-fruits as well.
