Jhajjar, May 20

Three civil engineers from Delhi drowned while taking a bath in a canal passing through Badli town here on Tuesday.

The deceased have been identified as Pradeep, Aashish and SN Muslim. They were employed in a company located at Dadri Toa village of the district.

The incident came to the fore today when their parents approached the police and lodged a missing complaint. The police launched a search operation after finding their mobile location near Badli town. A car was found abandoned near the canal and the clothes of the trio were also lying inside it.

The police immediately pressed the divers into service who later fished out the bodies from the canal.

Sources said the trio had gone to Naurangpur village to inspect a construction site. On returning, they drowned in the canal while bathing.

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).
