Shimla, August 28

Three trains were cancelled on World Heritage Kalka- Shimla railway track after a rail car derailed near Tara Devi today.

However, all the eight passengers on board were safe.

The restoration work is still going on the track and three trains were cancelled, said Station Superintendent, Shimla Railway Station, Joginder Singh, adding that the track is expected to be restored by late evening.

The reason for the derailment of the rail car is still not known. Trains were delayed on the Kalka-Shimla track on many occasions during the ongoing monsoon season due to landslides and falling of trees.

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).
