New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday expressed pain over the deaths of eight people in a road mishap in Andhra Pradesh.

"Pained by the loss of lives in a tragic bus accident in Chittoor, AP. Condolences to the bereaved families. I hope the injured recover soon," Modi tweeted.

"The next of kin of the deceased would be given Rs. 2 lakh from PMNRF and Rs. 50,000 would be given to the injured," he said.

At least eight persons died and 23 were injured after a private bus fell into a gorge at Bhakarapet Ghat road near Bhakara village in Chandragiri Mandal of Chittoor district in Andhra Pradesh.

Police said that around 50 people were going to Tiruchurapalli to attend an engagement function on Saturday.

They left Dharmavaram in Anantapur district at around 3 pm.
