Mahendragarh, October 31

Harpal Singh, alias Babli (52), a candidate for the post of sarpanch with the Khatodara gram panchayat, was found dead on a railway track in Ateli last night.

Babli had gone missing under mysterious circumstances on Saturday night and residents of the village even boycotted the zila parishad and panchayat samiti elections on Sunday to protest the incident. Police sources said he was run over by a train.

SP Vikrant Bhushan said since the body had been found on the railway track, the case was being investigated by the Government Railway Police.

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).
