39 travellers drown in East Punjab

NEW DELHI, July 24: At least 39 people were feared dead when a truck packed
with 75 hitchhikers lost control and plunged into an overflowing dam in East
Punjab, officials said on Tuesday.

Rescuers so far have managed to recover 14 bodies from the dam in Ropar
district where the truck toppled into the swirling waters on Monday,
district administrator Gurinderjit Grewal said. Women and children are among
the 25 people still missing in the dam, Grewal said. The victims had taken a
lift on the truck just before it cartwheeled into the dam which supplies
water to the state-owned Bhakra hydro powerhouse, he added.-AFP
