Five students were injured in a head-on collision between a private school bus and a Prem Bus Services vehicle near Bhattoo village, about 10 km from Palampur, this afternoon. The accident triggered panic among parents, many of whom rushed to the scene after hearing the news. School staff present at the spot quickly assured them about the children’s safety.

The incident occurred on the narrow and accident-prone Pathankot-Mandi highway stretch between Palampur and Paror, which locals say has become a death trap due to increasing traffic and poor road conditions. Accidents are reportedly frequent, with mishaps occurring nearly every third day.

The Bhawarna police have registered a case against the bus driver. However, no arrests have been made yet as the investigation is still ongoing.

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).
