A tractor-pulled trolley transporting villagers to a shrine fell into an irrigation canal in eastern Pakistan, killing at least 10 people, a rescue official said on March 11. The official said 27 of the 46 people onboard the trolley were rescued after the March 10 accident by the time the operation was suspended due to darkness. Five bodies were retrieved and some of the rescued were injured, he said. Such incidents frequently take place in Pakistan where transportation infrastructure is often substandard, especially in rural villages, and people largely disregard safety regulations.
