Faridabad, June 16

A 50-year-old man committed suicide by hanging in his house in Faridabad’s Khori village early on Wednesday morning as he was allegedly under stress due to the impending demolition drive in the area.

Identified as Shri Lal, the deceased was under stress due to a loan of Rs two lakh taken for construction of his house in the colony that is facing demolition shortly.

The Supreme court had ordered the removal of all encroachments on the 172 acres of land designated as Forest area.

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).
