Indore (Madhya Pradesh): At least three persons were killed while around 25 people were injured, three of them critically, after a tractor-trolley in which they were sitting overturned while crossing a culvert under the Chandrawatiganj police station area on Monday at around 6.30 pm.
Two women died on the spot, while a girl succumbed to injuries on the way to the hospital. The injured people have been referred to Aurobindo Hospital in Indore.
