Six people were killed and about 20 injured when a coal-laden truck overturned in Bhognipur area on Tuesday morning.

The truck was carrying labourers who were on their way to Firozabad. The labourers were seated on top of the coal-laden truck. All of them belong to Hamirpur district.

As the truck approached Maukhas village, the driver apparently lost control and the vehicle overturned.

Six people died on the spot. All the injured have been admitted to hospital where the condition of eight of them is said to be critical.

Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has directed district officials to provide proper treatment and all help to the injured. IANS

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).
