Chandigarh, July 3

A 31-year-old labourer was found dead in an empty water tank of an under-construction building in Sector 22 here today.

The labourer, a native of Uttar Pradesh, has been identified as Dharmendra Kumar.

The police suspect that Dharmendra had consumed liquor before he fell into the five-foot-deep uncovered tank.

Dharmendra’s elder brother, who is also a labourer at the same site, spotted the body in the morning. The victim was rushed to the GMSH-16, where doctor declared him brought dead. The police have initiated inquest proceedings into the matter.

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).
