Six persons were killed and two injured seriously when a passenger train running at breakneck speed hurtled into a truck and a tractor at a crossing near North Delhi.

India vs China-Pak

India lodged another protest to the opening of the 4,620-metre high Khunjerab pass at the terminus of the Chinese-built Karakoram Highway, also called the “silk road”. Both China and Pakistan ignored India’s protest last year, rejecting New Delhi’s fear that it would affect India’s sovereignty. India’s contention also was that China and Pakistan had no right to enter into an agreement over an area under illegal occupation of Pakistan.

Abdullah said it was settled by his father, Sheikh Abdullah and added: “I am Indian and will die an Indian”.
