Two persons, including a woman, were killed and over 10 reportedly injured, several of them critically, in a road accident near Gopalpura village on the Amritsar-Batala road this evening.

Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Dharminder Kalyan said the mishap occurred when a private bus collided with a tipper truck that allegedly took a sudden U-turn near the village. The bus, which was travelling behind the truck, rammed into it, causing extensive damage to the front portion of the vehicle.

Onlookers alerted the police, following which teams reached the spot along with ambulances to shift the injured to nearby hospitals. The DSP said police personnel have been deployed at the hospitals to gather details of those admitted.

“The exact number of casualties and injured will be confirmed later. Rescue operations are currently underway,” the DSP added.

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).
