A three-year-old girl drowned in a sewer water filled pit in a vacant plot in North West Delhi’s Rohini, an official said on Tuesday. According to the police, the incident occurred on Sunday morning in the Begumpur area. It is suspected that the girl fell into the pit while playing. “A call regarding kidnapping was received at 9 am on Sunday.

The family suspected the girl was kidnapped when she was playing outside their house,” the official said. The victim’s family later found that she had fallen in the pit in a nearby vacant plot. With the help of local residents, they pulled the child from the water and rushed her to Ambedkar Hospital in Rohini where doctors declared her dead. The family demanded justice, claiming that the negligence of the authorities, who failed to check waterlogging, led to their child's death.

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).
