New Delhi, January 14

As many as six persons, including four members of a family, died allegedly after inhaling toxic fumes from coal braziers in two separate incidents in the national capital, officials said on Sunday.

Delhi is reeling under severe cold conditions as the minimum temperature dropped to 3.5°C, this winter’s lowest, on Sunday morning.

Two children were among the four killed in the incident in Alipur area in outer North Delhi, the police said.

The deceased have been identified as Rakesh (40), who was a driver of a water tanker, his wife Lalita (38), their two sons Piyush (8), and Sunny (7), the police added.

In another incident, two Nepal natives, Ram Bahadur (57) and Abhishek (22), were found dead in their room after they allegedly inhaled toxic fumes from a coal brazier in Inderpuri area of west Delhi, 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).
