One person was killed and another received serious injuries in a head-on collision between a SUV and bus on Sangrur-Barnala road on Wednesday.
The deceased has been identified as Balwinder Singh, while his brother Sukhwinder Singh received multiple injuries and has been shifted to a hospital in Ludhiana. Both were residents of Harigarh village near Dhanula in Barnala district.
