Tarn Taran, December 9

A couple riding a motorcycle was crushed to death by an over-speeding truck on the Tarn Taran-Goindwal Sahib road, near Naurangabad village, on Wednesday.

The deceased have been identified as Mukhtiar Singh (62) and his wife Charanjit Kaur (59), residents of Dulchipur village. Mukhtiar Singh was an ex-serviceman. They were going back to their village on their bike after taking medicine under Ex-serviceman Contributory Health Scheme (ECHS). A loaded truck hit their bike from behind near Naurangabad village, crushing them to death.

The local Sadar police said a case under Section 304-A and 279 of the IPC was registered against the truck driver, who fled from the spot. The truck was taken in the police custody.

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).
