Palwal, March 20

A 38-year-old woman died and three other women were injured when pond earth caved in at Dheegot village on Tuesday evening.

The incident occurred around 6.30 pm when the victim, identified as Meena, was on her way to collect cow dung from a spot adjacent to the village pond. It is reported that besides the victim, three other women residents of the village, identified as Gyanwati, Krishna and Ganga, also got buried under a heavy mound of earth that suddenly caved in.

All women were walking on the bank of the pond at that time. Although all four women were rescued by the locals soon after, Meena succumbed to her injuries.

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).
