Two truck drivers and an assistant of one of the drivers were reportedly burnt alive after two trucks collided and caught fire near Pipli Majra village on the Jagadhri-Paonta Sahib National Highway in Yamunanagar district on Saturday night.

Pratap Nagar police station SHO Jasbir Singh said the deceased could not be identified yet.

He said one of the trucks was registered in the name of a person belonging to Hisar district, while the other vehicle was registered in the name of a Ghaziabad-based company.

“Immediately after collision, both the trucks caught fire. Probably, there were three people, including two drivers, in the vehicles. They were trapped and burnt alive,” he added.

He said three more fire engines were called after six failed to douse the fire.

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).
