Rohtak, February 5

In a freak mishap, a student of Class VIII at Manav Rachna Global School in Rohtak died after a pole of a football goalpost fell on him today.

School principal Dharamvir said Nikhil got injured when the pole fell on him while the children were playing at the school ground during the recess.

The student was rushed to a hospital but he could not be saved. Nikhil’s father is a BSF official and is posted out of the state.

SHO (Shivaji Colony) said the body had been sent for a post-mortem examination.

No FIR had been registered regarding the matter till the time of filing of this report.

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).
