Shimla, August 19

With one more body retrieved today, the number of bodies recovered so far from the debris of the Shiv temple at Summer Hill, which had collapsed a few days ago, has gone up to 17.

The search teams today found the body of Ish Sharma, son of Himachal Pradesh University (HPU) professor PL Sharma. The bodies of PL Sharma and his wife were recovered a few days ago. “Ish Sharma’s body was found in a nullah, much below the temple site, buried several feet under the rubble,” said Virender Thakur, councillor of the Summer Hill ward.

“Pawan Sharma, his granddaughter and Neeraj Thakur are the three people who are still missing. Hopefully, we will manage to find them as well,” he added. Meanwhile, the Weather Department has forecast an increase in rainfall activity from August 21. More rain could hamper the rescue operation.

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).
