In a tragic accident late Thursday night, two youths lost their lives after the motorcycle they were riding collided with a stray bull near the main gate of Gaggal Airport in Kangra district.

The deceased have been identified as Akshay Kumar (29) of Bhatechch in Shahpur and Pawan Kumar (36) of Tundu, Shahpur.

According to police officials, the duo was travelling on a motorcycle (registration number HP 90-1043) when a stray bull suddenly came in front of their vehicle. The motorcycle rammed into the animal, throwing both riders onto the road. They sustained severe injuries and were taken to the Dr Rajendra Prasad Government Medical College, Tanda, in an ambulance. However, doctors declared them brought dead.

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).
