Raigarh, March 15

Three women and a 5-year-old boy were killed and 22 others were injured when their pick-up van overturned in Chhattisgarh’s Raigarh district, the police said on Sunday.

The accident took place on Saturday night under Dharamjaigarh police station limits when 30 villagers from Lailunga were returning after visiting a temple in Ambetikara, an official said.

“The driver lost control of the speeding vehicle near Charkhapara village after which it skidded off the road and overturned. Three women and a 5-year-old boy were killed on the spot,” he said.

“The 22 injured have been admitted in a hospital in Pathalgaon in neighbouring Jashpur district,” he added. 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).
