Mohali, July 9

An elderly farmer of Baroudi village was killed after being hit by a luxury car near a filling station yesterday.

The police said the deceased, identified as Ratan Chand, a resident of Baroudi village near Kurali, was coming back from the farmers’ protest against the hike in fuel prices near the Baroudi toll plaza. While trying to cross the highway, he was standing on the median when he lost balance and came on the road. A speeding BMW car, coming from the Kurali side, hit him and sped away.

The registration number of the car was traced through CCTV footage. — 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).
