On Sunday, one warkari, devotee of Lord Vitthal, was killed and 22 others were injured after a vegetable-laden tempo rammed into their tractor-trolley on Pune-Bengaluru highway in Satara district, police said.

The warkaris from Kolhapur were on their way to Pune to join the annual procession, as part of the 'wari' tradition. The accident took place around 3 am near Shirval village, when 43 warkaris were on their way to Alandi in Pune district.
