Chandigarh, August 3

An unfortunate incident took place on Tuesday when a skater, on a journey from Kashmir to Kanyakumari through skating, lost his life in Haryana’s Panchkula district after being hit by a speeding truck.

Pinjore police said the 31-year-old Kerala youth, Anas was on his skateboard during the accident.

He was taken to nearby hospital after the accident where he was declared dead by doctors. The truck fled from the spot after the incident.

Anas, a native of Kerala’s Thiruvananthapuram, began his 3511 km journey on May 29, 2022. He also posted a video on his social media when he was 600 km away from his final destination.

He bought his skating board 3 months back to live his passion and started training. He was also planning the next trip to Nepal, Bhutan and Cambodia.

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).
