One person was killed and another sustained injuries after a car plunged into the Pabbar river near Badiyara Bridge in Rohru subdivision of Shimla district, police said on Saturday.

The deceased has been identified as Sanjeev Kumar, a resident of Gharshal village in Chirgaon, while the injured has been identified as Hitender Rawat, a resident of Diswani village, also in Chirgaon.

According to police reports, the accident occurred when Sanjeev, who was driving the vehicle, lost control, causing the car to veer off the road and fall into the river. While Hitender sustained injuries, Sanjeev was swept away by the strong river current. A police team launched a search operation for the missing driver. After several hours of search efforts, Sanjeev’s body was recovered from the river.

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).
