At least six people, including two children, were killed and 15 others injured after a chariot came into contact with an overhead high-voltage electric wire in Tripura's Unakoti district today. According to the police, the incident took place during the “Ulto Rath“ procession, which is the 'return' journey of the Hindu god Jagannath and his two siblings after the annual Rath Yatra festival.
