Five people were killed when a state transport (ST) bus ran them over after it was hit by a speeding private bus in Kalol town of Gujarat’s Gandhinagar district on Wednesday morning, police said.

The accident took place at around 7.30 am at a local bus stop where some passengers were waiting for a bus, they said.

They were run over by the ST bus, which was stationary but suddenly got pushed forward after being hit by a private luxury bus from behind, an official from Kalol police station said.

Five persons were killed and five to seven others injured, she said.

The injured were taken to a government hospital, the official said.

The bodies were also sent to the hospital for post-mortem, she added.

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).
