Four people were killed and five others received injuries after their van collided head-on with a truck in Madhya Pradesh’s Chattarpur district in the wee hours of Thursday, a police official said.

The accident took place around 1 am near Basri village on national highway no. 75 when the victims were on their way to Maihar town from Mauranipur in neighbouring Uttar Pradesh, he said.

Three van occupants died on the spot while another person succumbed to injuries in the district hospital here, Bamitha police station in-charge Hemant Nayak said.

The five injured people were admitted to the district hospital and three of them were later referred to a medical college in Jhansi, he said.

Out of the four deceased, three have been identified as Akash Raikwar (21), Krishnakant Raikwar (24) and Dhirendra Arya (20), he said. 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).
