Mohali, August 2
A 47-year-old woman, resident of Bhagwanpur on Barwala road, died of snakebite on Wednesday evening. Family members said the victim Sunita was cutting fodder in the fields around 4pm on Wednesday when a snake bit her.
People from nearby houses tried homemade medical treatment but her condition started to deteriorate. A private vehicle was called to take her to Government Medical College and Hospital, Sector 32, but due to waterlogging at the Zirakpur National Highway and the resultant traffic jam near the McDonald’s point, the emergency vehicle had to take a U-turn and reach Dera Bassi Civil Hospital for treatment where she died. Deceased is survived by his husband and two children.

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).
