    Himachal: 6 devotees killed, 25 injured in separate road accidents

    Six devotees were killed while 25 others were injured in two road accidents in Himachal Pradesh today. In the first incident, a vehicle carrying 16 devotees fell into a gorge near Una's Neherian village, killing six persons, including four women and injuring 10 others. Police said bodies of deceased were sent to the zonal hospital for post-mortem, while the injured were admitted to hospital.
