Two youths drowned in the Yamuna at Kidawali village near Faridabad on Sunday afternoon. The police and SDRF teams are still searching for their bodies.

The victims, Ayush and Dharmendra, along with six others, had gone to the village to celebrate a birthday party.

The duo entered the river to take a bath, their feet slipped and they were carried away by the strong current. Their friends then informed the police about the same.

“Due to the strong flow in the Yamuna, the police could not do anything. The SDRF team was informed about the accident. Officials are searching for the youths but their bodies are yet to be traced,” Inspector Sangram Dahiya, SHO of the Bhupani police station, said.

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).
