Solan, September 20

A 51-year-old labourer died when a pillar, which he was dismantling at a hotel in Chail, collapsed last evening.

Additional SP, Solan, Ashok Verma said the labourer had been identified as Roop Lal and he was a resident of Nagali village. He was engaged by hotel manager Udaybir Chandel to dismantle a pillar for Rs 10,000.

Though the injured labourer was rushed to the nearest hospital, he succumbed to his injuries.

Since no foul play is suspected in the incident, the police have initiated inquest proceedings under Section 174 of the IPC.

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).
