UNA, MARCH 19

A devotee from Punjab was killed when a gas cylinder, being used to fill balloons, burst during the Hola Mohalla fair at the Dera Baba Badbhag Singh shrine at Mairi village in Amb on Friday. Four other persons, all from Punjab, received injuries.

Una DC Raghav Sharma said the incident took place around 8 am. The deceased had been identified as 60-year-old Nek Raj from Fazilka. An immediate relief of Rs 50,000 had been given to the relatives of the deceased.

Those injured included Gurmeet Singh (66) from Tarn Taran, Jagroop Singh (20) from Batala, Gurpinder Singh (18) from Amritsar and Ekam Singh (5). —

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).
