Truce enforced
The police and battlekitted Indian soldiers enforced an uneasy truce between Sikhs and Hindus in New Delhi yesterday after fresh outbreaks of communal violence, in which four people were killed and 50 injured in the Indian capital. A protest on Saturday by Hindu women grieving over 14 bus passengers who were killed in Punjab State on Friday by Sikh extremists flared into pitched street battles between Hindus and Sikhs in the west New Delhi suburb of Tilak Nagar. In Mukhtsar, near the spot where four gunmen fighting for a separate Sikh State killed the passengers — all but one Hindu — in their seats,
the victims’ bodies were released to relatives and quickly cremated under heavy security. — New Delhi

People living in the village of Lockington, 30km from the port city of Hull, said they had compliained for weeks about electronic faults at the crossing, which has warning lights but no gates or barriers. Six people were killed immediately and three died later in hospital. — Lockington
