Dera Bassi, May 27

The roof of a house collapsed at Pandwala village here at around 8am on Friday.

Jagtar Singh, the house owner, and his wife, had a narrow escape after a portion of the roof of the kitchen caved in.

Neighbours rushed for help and rescued him from under the debris.

The victim, an auto rickshaw driver, has been shifted to the local hospital.

Cracks have appeared on the walls of the old house after the incident, said police after reaching the spot.

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).
