As many as five persons are said to be injured after a private bus bound for B.C. Road overturned near Polali Dwara in Bajpe police station limits of Mangaluru on Tuesday evening.
The Bajpe police said the Navadurga bus, filled with about 40 passengers, was going from Kinnigoli to B.C. Road. That was the last bus on the route returning to B.C. Road. Around 6.30 p.m., the bus driver lost control over the vehicle following a brake failure while negotiating a curve near Polali Dwara.
Onlookers rushed to bring out the injured persons and send them to nearest hospital. So far only five persons have been reported to be admitted to the hospital. The exact number of injured persons will be known after inquiry, the police said.

Under the NBS, newborns are screened for communication disorders before they are discharged from the hospital. For this, AIISH has collaborated with several hospitals to conduct screening which is performed to detect hearing impairment and other developmental disabilities that can affect speech and language development. The screening has been helping in early intervention for those identified with the disorders, as any delay in the identification poses risk and affects successful management of children with hearing loss, according to AIISH.
