A 75-year-old woman was killed and 10 of her relatives were injured after a mini-load carrier fell into a ditch in Jammu and Kashmir's Ramban district early Monday, police said.

The members of the extended family belonging to the Bakerwal nomadic community were heading for Kashmir from Teryath village in Rajouri district as part of their bi-annual migration in search of greener pastures for their animals, police said.

The accident took place near a railway bridge in Banihal along the Jammu-Srinagar National Highway around 4 am, resulting in on-the-spot death of the woman identified as Fulla Begum and injuries to 10 of her relatives -- seven men and three women.

The injured were shifted to a nearby hospital by the rescuers where the condition of two of them was stated to be serious, officials 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).
