Mandi, March 9

A resident of Punjab died due to drowning in Kullu district late Sunday evening.

The deceased has been identified as Vijay Singh (25), son of Sona Singh, resident of Kalagi under the Khalahiyan police station in Amritsar district.

The police said the deceased drowned in a gurdwara’s main ‘kund’ (pond) at Manikaran. He was taken out of the kund and rushed to the community health centre at Jari. The doctor on duty declared him brought dead.

The post-mortem examination was conducted at the regional hospital in Kullu. The body of the victim will be handed over to his family for last rites.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
