Amritsar, June 15

Rail traffic on the busy Amritsar-Delhi railway section remained paralysed for over three hours on Tuesday night after a goods train got derailed near the Manawala railway station, about 10 km from the Amritsar railway station. Sources in the railways stated that the incident occurred at about 8.30 pm last night during shunting of the goods train.

Passengers, especially on board five arriving trains which were stopped at different stations in order to clear the mainline, were harassed. It was at about 11:30 pm that the traffic was restored.

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).
