Rewari, August 30

Two passengers were killed and 38 others injured when a Haryana Roadways (HR) bus fell off the Sotanala culvert on the Delhi-Jaipur highway near Behror in Alwar district of Rajasthan on Tuesday.

The deceased have been identified as Phoolo Devi (65) and Ratan Singh (55) of Kotputli. The injured were admitted to hospitals at Behror and nearby areas.

Twentyfour of the injured were discharged late in the evening, while the condition of some of the other injured was stated to be critical.

The incident took place in the afternoon when the bus of the Rewari depot, carrying 40 passengers, left for Jaipur. Passengers said the driver lost control over the bus due to overspeeding while overtaking another vehicle on the culvert, which did not have railing or barricades.

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).
