A linesman, Tejpal (42), was electrocuted while repairing an electric line in Sikanderpur Badha village on Tuesday. He had received permission from Junior Engineer Tasleem to shut off the power, but it was allegedly switched on while Tejpal worked on the transformer.

Despite being on the transformer for only two minutes, he was fatally electrocuted. Tejpal's father filed a complaint, leading to an FIR for negligence against DHBVN. An investigation is underway to verify the details and take appropriate action.

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).
