A tourist from Bengaluru, Shankar Bhargav (24), died at Kaza yesterday. According to the police, Shankar was trekking in the high-altitude area when his condition deteriorated.

“He was rushed to the Kaza hospital but he died on the way. His family has been informed about his death. The cause of the death seems to be the high-altitude sickness,” said a police official.

“In another incident, Manali resident Rahul Thakur (40) drowned in the Chandertal in Lahaul and Spiti. He was roaming near the lake when he slipped and fell into it. Due to freezing temperatures, he could not be saved,” he added.

The official said that a rescue team had been sent to retrieve the body.

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).
