Maur Mandi on Thursday witnessed a complete shutdown in protest over the death of a 19-year-old girl, who was allegedly pushed into a canal by her friends.

To seek justice for the deceased, whose body was fished out of the canal near Yatri village yesterday, the residents organised a candle march in the evening.

After the post-mortem examination, the body of the deceased was handed over to her family. Hundreds of residents gathered at the Ram Bagh cremation ground to bid a tearful adieu to the deceased.

Bathinda SSP Amneet Kondal said they had nabbed the sixth accused today.

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).
