Dera Bassi, September 15

A man died in a bus-tractor collision at the Bhankharpur Ghaggar bridge on the Chandigarh-Ambala national highway here today.

The deceased has been identified as Shaturghan Patel (22), a native of Bihar, currently residing in Mubarikpur. He is survived by his wife and three children.

Patel, who worked as a labourer, was going to Zirakpur on a tractor to bring a machine. When the tractor reached the Ghaggar bridge, a private bus hit it from behind at 4.30 am. Patel fell on the road and came under the wheels of the bus. He died on the spot. The tractor driver was injured in the accident. — 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).
