Khushinagar

The school children travelling in a van that crashed into a speeding train in Kushinagar today, leading to the death of 13 children, had repeatedly asked the driver of their vehicle to stop but the man did not listen as he was busy on the phone, a nine-year-old, who survived the accident said.

At least 13 children have been killed and eight more injured after a speeding train crashed into a school van this morning at an unmanned crossing in Uttar Pradesh's Kushinagar, around 50 km from Gorakhpur.

Ever since Sachidanand Rai, a farmer from Khushinagar in Uttar Pradesh, started growing medicinal plants, he has significantly increased his income, while also contributing to preservation of rare medicinal species. Earlier, Rai used to grow traditional grains, including wheat and rice, on his five-acre farm.

At least 12 inmates have escaped from a juvenile home after beating up the security guard at Khushinagar in Bandlaguda.
