One dead, 2 hurt as bikes collide

Chandigarh: A 29-year-old man died while two others sustained serious injuries as two bikes collided near Sai Mandir in Sector 29 here around 11.30 pm on Wednesday. The deceased was identified as Vinay, who worked at a private hospital. Bittu of Ramdarbar, the pillion rider, and Shashank from Baltana, who was riding another motorcycle, sustained critical injuries and were taken to the GMCH-32.

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).
