Five people, including four Indian tourists, were killed after their car collided head-on with a bus in Nepal’s Dhading district, the police said on Monday.

The accident occurred on Sunday night along the Prithvi Highway in Thakre area, according to the police.

The four Indian nationals were returning to Kathmandu after visiting Pokhara.

The Nepalese driver of the car was also killed in the accident.

The bus was heading towards Dhading from Kathmandu.

The deceased have been identified as Bimalchandra Agrawal, 40, Sadhana Agrawal, 35, Sandhya Agrawal, 40, Rakesh Agrawal, 55, from Uttar Pradesh and Dil Bahadur Basnet, 36, of Khaireni in Tanhu district, according to the police.

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).
