Four people were killed and eight injured on Tuesday when a vehicle they were travelling in skidded off the road and rolled down a gorge in Jammu and Kashmir's Reasi district, officials said.

The accident took place near Gangode area in the district when the driver reportedly lost control over the tempo traveller, causing it to fall into the gorge.

Local police and SDRF personnel rushed to the spot to carry out a rescue operation, they said.

Three people died on the spot and one died on the way to the hospital, officials said. The injured were shifted to hospital.

The vehicle was on its way from Jammu to Mahore, said Reasi SSP Paramvir Singh.

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).
