Two people were killed when a jeep rolled down a link road and fell on the Hindustan-Tibet highway-5 in Kinnaur district on Tuesday. One of them was taking a selfie outside his vehicle when the accident occurred.

A Mahindra Thar jeep rolled down the Piling-Nichar link road in Bhaba Nagar subdivision, about one km from Piling, and crushed a tourist, who was taking a selfie.

Rahul (25), a resident of Nichar, was driving the jeep that hit 54-year-old Gadhadhar Chatterjee from West Bengal, who was taking a selfie outside his vehicle.

A third, 40-year-old Lakhbir Singh, who was injured in the incident, was admitted to the Community Health Centre in Bhaba Nagar. Meanwhile, the bodies were handed over the victims’ kin after an autopsy, the police said.

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).
