Three youths were killed when the car they were travelling in was hit bya sudden landslide from the hillside after heavy downpour on the Chamba-Uteep-Panela road hereon Saturday night, the police said on Sunday.

On receiving information, the district administration swung into action and carried out the rescue operation with the help of locals.

Chamba Subdivisional Magistrate Shivam Pratap Singh said the deceased had been identified as 27-year-old Naveen and 27-year-old Akshay, both residents of Kumaharka village, and 30-year-old Kushal, a native of Bharaini village of the district.

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).
