Surendranagar, May 2

Four people were killed and two others grievously injured when their van collided head-on with a bus near Limbdi in Gujarat’s Surendranagar district on Monday, police said.

The six people were going from Rajkot to Rajasthan to attend a marriage when the accident took place at around 2.30 am near Katariya village on Rajkot-Ahmedabad highway, over 100 km from Ahmedabad.

Their van hit a bus coming from the opposite direction, an official from Limbdi police station said.

Four of the van passengers died on the spot, while two others suffered serious injuries, he said.

All the four deceased, in their 20s, were residents of Rajkot, he said.

“The injured were rushed to a hospital at Limbdi. Further investigation is under way,” the official 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).
