One person died as two trucks collided on GT Road in Sirhind today. The deceased has been identified as Hitesh Palta, a resident of Barnala. In his statement to Sirhind police, driver Lakhbir Singh, a resident of Bootar Kalan village in Moga, said he was going to Mandi Gobindgarh on his truck along with Hitesh Palta and Deepak Kumar. As he reached near Mota Dhaba on GT Road, another truck overtook his truck and suddenly applied brakes, causing collision. Hitesh sustained serious injuries in the accident and died. The police have registered a case against the unknown truck driver and handed over the body of the deceased to the family members after the postmortem.

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).
