2 killed in accident

Chandrapur: Two persons were killed on the spot, while one was critically injured as a loaded truck rammed a tractor on the new bypass round in Ghugus mines under WCL Wani on Saturday evening.
The deceased has been identified as tractor driver Manoj and labourer Rupesh Barsagade. Another labourer in the tractor, whose name could not be learnt, suffered serious injuries and was rushed to Chandrapur for emergency treatment.
Sources informed that a 18-wheeled truck coming from the opposite direction dashed head on with the tractor at around 4pm close to Bairam Baba temple on new bypass road. The collusion was so strong that tractor driver and his labourer were killed on the spot.
There was brief tension on the spot as leaders of different parties reached the spot and denied lifting of the body till the transporter, who owns the truck, does not pay compensation of Rs 50 lakh each to the deceased.
Cops later pacified the mob and removed the body for post-mortem.
