A 45-year-old Kashmiri migrant labourer was found dead in his rented room here this morning. The deceased has been identified as Bashir Ahmed Lone, a native of Alusa village in Kupwara district of Jammu and Kashmir.

Lone’s body was discovered around 9.30 am by his uncle, Ghulam Hassan Lone. He informed the authorities that a man named Gulshan had gone to check on Bashir at his room and found him lying unresponsive. SP Bhagat Singh Thakur said a case has been registered and police are investigating all possible angles related to the death.

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).
