Dera Bassi, January 1

A 70-year-old man was killed while crossing the road at Bhankharpur village on the Chandigarh-Ambala national highway.

The deceased has been identified as Ram Singh, a resident of Bhankharpur, who was an agriculturist.

The driver fled from the spot after the accident.

A confectionery shop owner at the village bus stop said Ram Singh was crossing the road in the afternoon when a speeding truck coming from the Dera Bassi side hit him. Eyewitnesses said Ram Singh was crushed under the tyres and died on the spot. — 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).
