A 19-year-old girl has allegedly died by hanging herself in Nerwa tehsil in Shimla district.

The deceased has been identified as Ritika (19), daughter of Chunni Lal and a resident of Chaflan village in Chopal. According to reports, the girl was found hanging in her rented room. She was working in a nearby hotel in the area. A police team reached the spot as soon as it received the information and recovered the body.

The body was then taken to Indira Gandhi Medical College (IGMC), Shimla, for postmortem. Theog DSP Siddharth Sharma confirmed the report and said a case has been registered and further investigation is going on.

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).
