A man died while his brother suffered injuries after being hit by a train near the Gokulpur Saboli Halt railway station in East Delhi on Friday. The mishap took place near the Meet Nagar flyover when the duo, identified as Sonu (36) and Monu (34), residents of Ashok Nagar, were reportedly consuming liquor. Rakesh Paweriya, Deputy Commissioner of Police (North East), said Sonu died on the spot, while Monu was rushed to Guru Teg Bahadur Hospital, where he is undergoing treatment. “The two were sitting near the tracks and consuming alcohol. They were unable to move away from the approaching train,” DCP Paweriya said. The police have recorded the statements of the family members and witnesses. Inquest proceedings have been initiated under Section 174 of the CrPC (unnatural death) and further investigations are underway.

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).
