At least 39 people were killed and more than 150 injured in two road accidents within hours of each other on the same stretch of highway in Pakistan's southern Sindh province, officials said on Sunday.

In the first accident, 32 people were killed on Saturday night when a bus carrying pilgrims returning from a shrine in Sehwan collided with another carrying medical college students to the same shrine, said Attaullah Chandio, a local police officer.

Sehwan, nearly 300 km (200 miles) northwest of Karachi, houses the shrine of a famous Sufi saint, Lal Shahbaz Qalandar, and thousands visited the site in the past few days for an annual ritual.

Some 120 people were also injured in the accident, which occurred on the Indus Highway, nearly 280 km (180 miles) from Karachi, Chandio said.

In a later, pre-dawn accident, seven people were killed and 43 injured when two buses caught fire after colliding 220 km (140 miles) from Karachi, police and relief officials said.
