Shimla, January 15

Two persons were killed on the spot when the vehicle (Santro) they were travelling in fell 150 feet deep into a gorge near Chaila in Theog subdivision of Shimla district late last night.

The ill-fated vehicle carrying two persons was on its way to Sainj from Chaila when the tragedy struck. The deceased were identified as Pranjay (24), a resident of Nerva, and Manoj (25), a resident of Fagu.

A case has been registered and investigations are underway to know the cause of the accident, said police sources, adding that the bodies had been handed over to the family members of the deceased after a post-mortem examination.

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).
