Solan, March 30

Two labourers suffered severe burn injuries in a blast that occurred while they were trying to cut open a tanker in a scrap godown with the help of a gas cutter on the Suncity road at Baddi late last evening.

The duo was shifted to the PGI, Chandigarh, after preliminary treatment at a local hospital. One of them, Harihar Mehta, died at the PGI today while Shyam Singh was undergoing treatment.

The godown belongs to local resident Deepak. The blast occurred in a tanker, which reportedly was carrying some inflammable gaseous material. DSP, Baddi, Navdeep Singh said that a probe was underway to ascertain the cause of the blast.

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).
