Mandi, April 4

An HRTC bus collided against a wall on hill side, leaving the driver dead and 40 other passengers injured on Chandigarh-Manali highway near Pandoh in Mandi district on Monday.

According to police, the bus was on its way to Mandi from Kullu, when driver of bus lost control over it. As a result, bus collided against the wall with full force, which led the fatal injury to the driver, while other victims sustained injuries.

SP Mandi Shalini Agnihotri told The Tribune that “I am on the spot along with police team to lead rescue operation effectively to transport injured victims to nearby hospital for medical treatment.”

Investigation is underway to ascertain the actual cause of this incident, the SP said.

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).
