Over 20 people were travelling on the trolley when the accident occurred.
"The deceased include 14 women and a child. At least seven others who were injured in the mishap have been rushed to a nearby hospital," Assistant Commissioner of Police S Ramesh, who is monitoring rescuing operation, told PTI over phone.
