Chandigarh, December 19

In a hit-and-run accident, a 14-year-old cyclist was injured after being hit by a speeding SUV in Sector 8 this evening.

The victim, Akshat Gupta, was hit by the vehicle as soon he pedalled out of his house. The incident was caught on the CCTV cameras installed outside the house.

The boy was rushed to the Government Multi-Speciality Hospital (GMSH), Sector 16.

The Sector 3 police have launched investigation into the accident.

Meanwhile, residents claimed the safety of cyclists and pedestrians was a major issue in sectors. There is a need to construct speed humps in the inner roads to check overspeeding.

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).
