Sirsa, April 27

A speeding pickup truck hit a cyclist near the Panniwala Mota police checkpoint on the National Highway-9 and dragged him underneath for about 2 km on Friday.

Another truck driver plying on the highway attempted to stop the pickup. He chased the pickup truck and even after several signals, when the pickup truck driver did not stop, the other truck driver managed to overtake him and stop his vehicle.

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).
