Chandigarh, April 23

A rider was killed after his scooter skidded on a dug-up section of a road at Dhanas. The police said although the dug-up portion had been filled with soil, it had not been fully repaired.

The victim has been identified as 40-year-old Rajinder Singh, a resident of Maloya. Sources said the victim was returning home around 11 pm when the incident occurred.

Police were informed about the accident and the victim was taken to the Government Multi-Specialty Hospital (GMSH), Sector 16, where the doctors declared him dead on arrival. The victim is survived by his wife and two children.

An investigation has been initiated at the Sarangpur police station.

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).
