Kaushambhi, December 2

Eight people were killed in Kaushambhi district of Uttar Pardesh on Wednesday morning when a truck, laden with stones, overturned on a car that was parked near the road.

Eight passengers in the car were killed on the spot. At least two more are feared trapped.

The police reached the spot and are using gas cutters to take out the passengers.

Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has expressed grief over the incident and has directed officials to ensure all help to the families of the deceased and proper treatment to the injured, if any.

According to the police spokesman, all the deceased were returning from a wedding and belong to one village.

The accident apparently took place when a tyre of the truck burst, causing it to overturn. 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).
