Solan, April 5

A 34-year-old migrant labourer was killed after his left hand was severed after being stuck in the conveyor belt of a stone crusher at Rampurghat area of Paonta Sahib last evening.

The mishap took place at Sub Giri stone crusher. In the absence of any safety gadget, the labourer was removing stones from the conveyor belt of the stone crusher when his left hand got stuck. His hand was severed from the shoulder and he died.

The deceased has been identified as Prakash, who hailed from Jharkhand. A case has been registered against the erring stone crusher manager and the contractor, who had failed to ensure safety of the labourer, said DSP Paonta Sahib Bir Bahadur.

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).
