A tractor-trolley overturned early on November 9 near Ramnagar in Chitrakoot district, Uttar Pradesh, killing four people, including two children, and injuring 12 others. The accident occurred when the coupling hook between the tractor and trolley detached, causing the trolley to lose control and overturn.
