Six children on their way to school in an auto-rickshaw were injured when it collided with a car on the Maloya road here around 7:30 am today.

According to eyewitnesses, the auto collided head-on with the car, allegedly being driven at high speed. The police said the accident occurred due to the alleged negligence on the part of the auto driver, who was reportedly driving rashly and transporting more children than the permitted limit. The driver lost control of the vehicle while trying to overtake another car.

The injured were admitted to the GMSH-16 and discharged later.

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).
