Chandigarh, July 10

Panic spread on the last day of the 3-day Mango Mela at Yadvindra Gardens, Pinjore, as several children got trapped when the inflatable slide collapsed due to overloading. As per an eyewitness, the slide was carrying children much above its capacity, which led to its collapse.

Luckily, there were no injuries to the children.

However, panicked parents allegedly thrashed the owner of the ride. When the police arrived on the spot, the parents also argued with them, seeking action against the ride owner.

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).
