Nahan, July 3

A truck driver and a cleaner had a providential escape on Wednesday when their vehicle plunged into a gorge on the Paonta Sahib-Shillai National Highway-707 near Shilla village.

The trailer truck loaded with an excavator machine was going from Shillai to Kafota when it suddenly came to a halt on a steep incline near Shillai. Driver Pankaj from Kishankot instructed the cleaner to get out and place a stone behind the wheels to prevent the truck from sliding.

As the trailer truck kept rolling back, the driver jumped out and escaped with minor injuries. The Shillai police have launched a probe into the incident.

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).
