Kullu, July 19

A pilgrim from Jharkhand died during the yatra to the 18,570-feet high Shrikhand Mahadev temple in the district today. Hari Om (35), a native of Jamshedpur in Jharkhand, collapsed due to pulmonary edema near Bhimdwar.

Nirmand SDM Manmohan Singh said that the rescue team was bringing the body to the base camp at Singhad. It is the first death during the yatra reported this year. The yatra that began on July 11 was not held for the past two years due to the Covid breakout.

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).
