Noida, June 16

A five-year-old boy died after he reportedly fell off the balcony of an eighth-floor apartment in a highrise group housing society here on Friday, the local police said.

The parents of the child were asleep when the incident took place at around 5.45 am in the Hyde Park Society in Sector 78 under Sector 113 police station limits. “The family members told the police that sometimes the child would wake up earlier than others and roam around in the house. Today, he went to the balcony where some planters are kept and above that is the balcony grill from where he fell down,” a police spokesperson said.

The child was rushed to a private hospital in Sector 71 but did not survive, he said. Further proceedings in the case are being carried out, the police 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).
