A supervisor of the Punhana Market Committee was crushed to death by a speeding minitruck near Chandanki village of Nuh district. The driver hit the deceased’s motorcycle, dragging him for 50 m. The entire incident was captured on a CCTV camera.

According to the complaint filed by Jabir, a resident of Nuh, his brother Shamim (45) had been working as a supervisor at the market committee for about 12 years.

“Shamim had gone to Lahabas village on Monday around 4 pm for official work on his motorcycle. When he was returning to the Punhana office, he was hit by a speeding minitruck near Chandanki,” Jabir said.

An FIR was registered against an unknown driver. The accused’s whereabouts are being ascertained.

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).
