15 run over by train

By Our Special Correspondent

MUMBAI, AUG. 16. A speeding train mowed down 15 persons, including eight women and five children, on the Mumbai-Bhusaval section of the Central Railway today. Two children were injured.

The victims could not see the fast approaching Mumbai- bound Geetanjali Express because of poor visibility due to a heavily overcast sky. The mishap occurred at the village Ujani between Bodhwad and Achaigaon stations.

The victims had come from Akola in Vidarbha to visit a Dargah in the area.
