Five people, who were going to attend a roadshow, were killed after their car fell into a 600 metres deep gorge in Himachal Pradesh’s Kinnaur district on Wednesday, police said.

The accident occurred on the Shilti road, around five km from the district’s headquarters Reckongpeo, they said.

So far, two bodies have been retrieved and operations are underway to take out the other bodies from the mangled SUV, police said.

Arun Singh, Abhishek, Upendra, Tanuj Kumar and Sameer, all residents of Kinnaur, were killed in the accident, they said.

They were going for the roadshow at Sangla from the Shudarang Mahindra showroom in Reckongpeo in a Mahindra Bolero, they said and added that it was a new car with “number applied for”.

The cause of the accident is yet to be ascertained, police said.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
