A 34-year-old man was killed after a tyre he was inflating burst at garage at Parel near Sultanpur locality of Chamba town. The victim, identified as Rakesh Kumar (34), a resident of village Chhmairi (Chameenu), sustained critical injuries in the blast. He was immediately rushed to Pt Jawaharlal Nehru Government Medical College, Chamba, for treatment, where doctors declared him brought dead.

The police have conducted the post-mortem and handed over the body to the family. An investigation is underway to determine the exact cause of the accident. Authorities suspect that excessive air pressure during inflation may have triggered the tyre explosion.

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).
