Chandigarh, October 4

A worker was killed and two others injured after two booths collapsed in Sector 33 market on Wednesday.

Three injured workers were taken to GMCH-32, where one Manchan Kumar (23) was declared brought dead by dcotors.

Another man is feared to be trapped under the debris.

According to an eyewitness, renovation work was going on in the booths. A café was to be built there. However, while drilling the building, its lantern collapsed all of a sudden.

“My grandfather and I pulled three workers from the debris. The fourth person is still trapped inside,” said the young eyewitness.

Fire officials said with the help of JCB, they are trying to find out if anyone else is still trapped inside.

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).
