Mathura SSP Shailesh Pandey said: “One bus which was the victim of the accident was going from Dholpur to Noida and the other bus was going from Etawah to Noida. However, both these buses met with an accident on Yamuna Expressway.”
Northern India is reeling under severe cold conditions and the fog which envelops the region for most part of the day and night, limits the visibility, while also increasing the risk of such mishaps.
