Palampur, September 5

An Assistant Sub-Inspector (ASI) and a constable were injured today after a pistol was accidentally discharged at Police Training College (PTC), Daroh, around 20 km from here.

DIG Bimal Gupta, who is Principal of the PTC, said the incident occurred during a shooting practice session of new recruits. In one of the pistols, a bullet got stuck. When the weapons expert of the college tried to remove it, the pistol went off, the police said.

The bullet hit the leg of the constable. It then hit the stomach of ASI, who was standing near the constable. Both the injured have been shifted to Rajendra Prasad Medical College, Tanda, where they are said to be out of danger. Gupta has ordered an inquiry into the incident.

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).
