13 children and driver die as?bus collides with train in India
  Indian Police confirms that 13 children were killed after their school van collided with a train at an unmanned railway crossing in the northern part of the country this morning.

Area police officer, Ramkrishna Tiwari, said the driver of the bus was also killed in the crash, which took place near the town of Kushinagar in Uttar Pradesh state. “The bus was on its way to school, when it met with the accident. Most of the victims died on the spot,” Tiwari said.

He said the dead children were all under the age of 10. Six more children who were injured in the accident were rushed to a nearby hospital. The death toll could rise as the condition of some of the children was said to be critical.  Police blamed the driver for the accident.

“The accident occurred due to his negligent driving. He was listening to music on his headphones and did not stop the bus to check for the approaching train,” Tiwari said.  State authorities have ordered an investigation while Indian leaders offered their condolences to the families of the victims.

It was the second deadly incident involving a school bus this month. Twenty-seven people, including 23 children, died on April 9 when a school bus fell into a gorge in the northern state of Himachal Pradesh.

Read the press statement by Concerned Nigerians below... The Shutdown of three major Pharmaceutical Companies, Emzor, Bioraj and Peace Standard Pharmaceuticals by National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control over Codein production is another testament that the current administration is clueless and wants more Nigerians out of Job. This hasty decision of shutting down all Production lines of these Pharmaceuticals over alleged production of Codein syrup is one done in bad faith. We are concerned about thousands of Jobs and revenue that will be lost as a result of this ill-conceived decision to shutdown the three largest pharmaceutical companies in the Country. You would recall that the National Bureau of Statistics had in its report stated that the number of Nigerians that became unemployed rose under  the current administration from 8,036million in 2015 Fourth quarter to 15.998 million in third quarter of 2017. It will be c...
