Bhubaneswar, December 26

Two goods trains collided in Jharkhand, following which a few rakes derailed, affecting services on the Hatia-Rourkela section, officials said on Sunday.

The accident happened on Saturday night between Pakra and Kurkura railway stations, they said.

There were no casualties as drivers and guards of both the trains escaped unhurt, they said.

The railways have cancelled two trains—Jharsuguda-Hatia Passenger And Rourkela-Hatia Passenger—following the accident.

The Tapaswini Express that runs from Bhubaneswar to Hatia daily and Alleppey-Bokaro Express that runs via Bhubaneswar have been diverted, officials 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).
