A labourer died after falling off the roof of a pipe-making industrial unit on Gulabgarh road, Dera Bassi, this morning. The victim Suhail, a native of Saharanpur, had taken the job just a around a week ago. His kin alleged that the contractor, the owner and the co-owner of industrial unit forced the youth to climb atop the roof against his will and did not provide him a safety helmet or belt.

After the youth fell, fellow workers rushed him to hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries.

The victim’s uncle filed a police complaint seeking action against the contractor and the 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).
