A tractor pulling a
trolley packed with pilgrims returning from a shrine in India overturned
Saturday and plunged into a pond, killing as many as 27 people, Indian media
reported.
The accident in the city of Kanpur in the northern state of Uttar Pradesh left another 22 people injured, reported The Times of India.
Other news media gave slightly lower death tolls.
The tractor-trolley was bringing Hindu pilgrims back from
the Chandrika Devi temple, reports said.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi offered his condolences in a
tweet.
"Distressed by the tractor-trolley mishap took place in
Kanpur. My thoughts are with all those who have lost their near and dear ones
and prayers with the injured," Modi said.
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said this kind
of vehicle -- a tractor pulling a large cart -- should be used only to
transport farm goods and freight, not people, The Hindu said.
"The road accident in Kanpur district is very
heart-wrenching," he said.
