Palanpur, July 5

Three persons from Rajasthan were killed and one injured when a truck transporting livestock hit another truck on a national highway in Gujarat’s Banaskantha district on Tuesday, police said.

The accident occurred on a national highway near Palanpur city around 7 am, an official from Palanpur taluka police station said.

Three persons and at least 20 livestock were killed on the spot and one man sustained injuries in the incident, he said.

“The deceased, hailing from Barmer in Rajasthan, were transporting livestock from the neighbouring state and were heading towards Ahmedabad, when the driver lost control of the vehicle and hit another truck in front of it,” the official said.

The bodies of the deceased were sent for post-mortem, while the injured man was rushed to a government hospital, he 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).
