Three women were killed in Jharkhand's Ranchi district on Monday morning as the pick-up van on which they were travelling collided with a tractor after hitting the road median, police said. The accident happened in the Ratu Chatti area, they said.
The women were on the way to a waterbody for rituals on the occasion of the Chaiti Chhath festival, said Shashibhusan Chaudhary, the inspector of Ratu police station. "The three women died on the spot," he said.
At least 15 workers have been kept under medical observation after a fire broke out on Saturday morning at SAIL's Bokaro steel plant in Jharkhand, an official informed.
