A five-year-old was crushed under the wheels of a truck and her grandfather was injured when the two-wheeler they were riding on was hit from behind by a truck on the service lane in Dera Bassi on yesterday afternoon.

The deceased, Araadhya, a student of LKG, was returning home from school in Saraswati Vihar with her grandfather, Upesh Bansal.

Locals said a truck hit the duo’s vehicle from behind, causing the child to fall on the road. The victim’s head was crushed under the front wheel of the truck. Injured Bansal managed to take his granddaughter, who was lying in a pool of blood, to the Civil Hospital, where doctors declared her 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).
