Gurugram, August 24

A minor girl died after being bitten by a cobra at Kherki Daula today. The incident took place when the girl was sleeping.

Wildlife expert Anil Gandas said the snake had been present in the victim’s house for two days before the unfortunate incident took place. The family had noticed it, but did not inform wildlife officials, assuming that it had left the area. The snake was believed to have been attracted by rats and had entered the room.

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).
