Kamala Polavarapu, a native of Krishna district in Andhra Pradesh, and her fiancé were enjoying a romantic getaway atop the falls on Saturday, when both of them slipped and fell into the water, WBIR News reported.

Tourists nearby jumped in and managed to save Polavarapu’s fiancé. After a search of nearly 40 minutes, Polavarapu was found trapped under a heavy tree branch in the water, the news site said.

Emergency responders performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation but she remained motionless. The responders took Polavarapu to Sweetwater Hospital, where doctors pronounced her dead, the report 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).
