One more body was recovered on Sunday from the debris of the chemical factory at Modern Industrial Estate in Bahadurgarh town, taking the death toll to seven.

A team of the NDRF continued the rescue operation for the third consecutive day. Sources said four bodies had been identified while efforts were underway to identify the remaining ones.

Bahadurgar SDM Tarun Pawaria said work to remove the debris was being done round-the-clock and it would take at least one more day. Over 30 labourers had also suffered injuries after a powerful explosion in the unit on Friday. Buildings of five adjoining units also collapsed. — TNS

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).
