Ten people, including seven women and a minor boy, were today killed after their tractor was hit by a bus near Shikra village in the state's Kutch district, police said.
An official of the Bhachau police station said that the tractor was ferrying 25 people, all from the same family, proceeding to a marriage ceremony from Shikra to Vij Pasar village, when a luxury bus rammed into it early this morning.

One of the injured died after being shifted to a government hospital in Bhachau, he said.
