A 13-year-old died on Saturday after he allegedly slipped into Sukhana Choe near Kishangarh here.

The teenager was identified as Sumit, a resident of Surajpur. He was in town visiting his uncle over the vacations.

According to the locals, the deceased was standing near the Choe when his foot slipped and fell into the 20-feet Choe.

Rescuers and fire department officials were pressed into action.

The boy’s body was retrieved after 20 minutes, officials said.

The teenager was rushed to the GMSH-16 where he was declared brought dead.

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).
