Updated At : 07:09 AM Jun 10, 2018 IST

Baran (Raj): Since the 19th century, Ramgarh Crater has evoked the interest of geologists. Now, a team of scientists is in Rajasthan’s Baran district to solve the mystery of its origin. The team believes it has evidence to prove that it was caused by meteorite impact.

“A huge meteorite of about 3 km diameter about 75,000 crore years ago is likely to have fallen here creating a trench of about 4 km diameter,” Prof Vinod Agrawal of the team said on Saturday. PTI

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).
