Mohali, November 6

Two persons lost their lives in separate accidents on the Dera Bassi-Zirakpur road in the past 24 hours.

A two-wheeler rider, Pooran Singh Minhas (77), a resident of Mamta Enclave, was hit by a truck coming from Dera Bassi near the railway overbridge at Bhankharpur around 5 pm.

Minhas was employed in a courier firm. The police arrested the truck driver. The body was handed over to the family after a postmortem.

In another incident, a 35-year-old woman, Rekha Rani, died after being hit by a truck at Gholumajra on the Dera Bassi-Chandigarh highway. The victim, a security guard at an industrial unit, was waiting for her husband to pick her up alongside the road.

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).
