Dehradun, May 23

Ten daily wagers were killed and five others injured — one of them gravely — in a landslide that hit Dehradun district’s Chakrata in the wee hours of Monday.

The daily wagers were asleep when strong winds and thundershowers sent boulders rolling down from a hill nearby in Teoni-Hanol at 1 am on Sunday, district officer Ravinath Raman said.

Rescuers have pulled out the dead and the wounded.

The daily wagers were working on a project under the Prime Minister Gramin Sadak Yojna. — 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).
