Three persons were killed after two goods trains collided near a village in Madhya Pradesh’s Singrauli district on early Sunday morning.

The track on which the accident occurred is managed by the National Thermal Power Corporation (NTPC) for coal transportation from Madhya Pradesh to Uttar Pradesh, a police officer said.

The accident occurred around 4.40 am when a coal-laden train heading towards UP from Amlori mine in MP collided with an vacant goods train near Ghanhari village

Thirteen wagons of one of the trains and an engine jumped off the tracks following the collision. The deceased were identified as Ramlakhan Bais (29), a local, Rasheed Ahmed (65) and Mandeep Kumar (26), both hailing from Uttar Pradesh PTI

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).
