An eight-year-boy sustained injuries in his eyes when a mobile phone battery exploded in his hands in Himachal Pradesh’s Mandi district on Thursday, police said.

The blast occurred when the boy was operating the device at his home in the Pangna area in Karsog town, they said.

He was rushed to Indira Gandhi Medical College (IGMC) Shimla from where he was referred to the PGIMER in Chandigarh, the police said. PTI

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).
