Kullu, September 27

A tourist from Faridabad drowned in the Chhika nullah of Manali while undertaking trekking yesterday. A group of 30 tourists from Haryana had gone for trekking from Hamta to Chhatru. One of them fell into the nullah while crossing it and was washed away. Other trekkers informed the police and the administration about the incident and the trekker’s body was recovered today.

Manali DSP Hemraj Verma said that the deceased had been identified as Ashish Sharma (22), a resident of Faridabad district. He added that the youth was a BDS student and his body would be handed over to his family members after a post-mortem.

Manali Tehsildar Mitter Dev said that an immediate relief of Rs 20,000 had been given to the bereaved family.

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).
