Gurugram, August 8

Angered over the drowning of an eight-year-old boy in a drain, residents of Gadoli Khurd village blocked the Gurugram-Pataudi road and sat on a dharna on the roadside today.

Though the search operation was on, the boy was not found even 24 hours after the incident.

Senior administration officials and police officials reached the spot where villagers surrounded them and demanded immediate covering of the drain and recovery of the child.

Due to the road blockade, traffic was diverted from the Umang Bhardwaj chowk and ahead of Gadoli Khurd village.

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).
