Una, March 11

Twelve children of migrant labourers have been admitted to the Regional Hospital in the district after they complained of vomiting and stomach ache, officials said on Saturday.

The children, who live with their families at Lalsinghi village, had consumed poisonous fruit at a nearby forest when their parents had gone to work last evening. The children are aged between three to nine years, the officials said.

Dr Vikash Chauhan, a paediatrician at the Regional Hospital, said the children were in a critical condition when they were brought here. After proper medication, they were stable now, he added.

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).
