A 20-year-old man reportedly committed suicide by jumping from the fifth floor of Defence Geoinformatics Research Establishment (DGRE) in Sector 37 here this afternoon.

The victim has been identified as Jaswinder Singh, a native of Patiala who worked as a technician.

The police were informed about the incident and the victim was rushed to the PGI where doctors declared him brought dead.

The police have initiated an inquest proceeding at the Sector 39 police station.

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).
