An incident of setting a 17-year-old schoolgirl on fire allegedly by a youth following an argument has come to the fore in Bahadurgarh. The police have started investigation after registering a case against the youth.

They rushed her to the Civil Hospital from where she was referred to the PGIMS, Rohtak, after first aid. “Prime facie, it has been learnt that the girl and the boy knew each other. They entered into an argument during a party which led to the incident. Efforts are being made to arrest the accused,” said Arpit Jain, SP, Jhajjar.

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).
