Indian Opinion Analysis
All three outlets report the same core facts, five dead, mostly women, a truck hitting a tractor-trolley from behind in Sitapur. NDTV gives a brief police statement. India TV and Kalinga TV add that the IG cited overspeeding and the illegal use of tractor-trolleys for passenger transport, with India TV also quoting the SP on the truck's seizure and driver search. The coverage is uniform straight reporting, no outlet carries a critical or pro-government slant. The differences are only in length and detail. The investigation and driver apprehension remain the next steps.
