A 22-year-old youth was electrocuted while reportedly taking a “kundi” connection at Colony No. 4.

The police were informed and the victim was rushed to the GMCH-32, where doctors declared him brought dead. The victim was a labourer.

Inquest proceedings have been initiated at the Industrial Area police station. — TNS

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).
