Fatehgarh Sahib, August 19

A cyclist was reportedly crushed to death by an overloaded truck at the main chowk of Mandi Gobindgarh town today.

The cyclist died on the spot. He was identified as Amarjit Singh (75), a resident of nearby Kumbh village. He was the father of Assistant Traffic In-charge Gurmeet Singh.

Sources said, the victim was going on a cycle to his village from Mandi Gobindgarh town. When he reached the chowk on GT Road, an overloaded truck coming from the Sirhind side hit his cycle and crushed him to death. The police reached the spot and confiscated the truck and arrested the driver. — OC

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).
