Hisar, December 18

An employee of the Rajiv Gandhi thermal power plant died in an accident while working in the plant at Khedar village of Hisar district on Sunday afternoon.

The victim identified as Kuldeep resident of Rakhi village was working when an iron rod broke and fell on him.

He was taken to a private hospital where he died during treatment.

Upset over the incident, the employees who are working under outsourcing policy in the thermal power plant started dharna outside the thermal plant and demanded compensation to the family of the victim besides action against those responsible for the incident.

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).
