Kurukshetra, December 24

A 55-year-old man was charred to death inside his car when the vehicle reportedly caught fire on the Ladwa-Pipli road near Sonti village on Tuesday.

The deceased has been identified as Devender Kalra, a resident of Kurukshetra. He was posted as an assistant manager in the Central Bank of India in Ladwa. Around 9.30 am, Devender was on his way towards Kurukshetra when his car suddenly caught fire.

After seeing the car burning, a passerby called the fire brigade and Devender’s body was taken out of the car.

Ladwa police station SHO Om Parkash said, “The body has been handed over to the deceased’s family after the post-mortem examination. The reason behind the cause of the fire is yet to be ascertained.”

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).
