Solan, March 18

The kutcha house of Ganesho Devi at Badyalta village in Sangrah subdivision of Sirmaur district was destroyed in a lightning strike last evening.

The woman and her two sons were not present at home when the incident occurred. Her entire household belongings were destroyed in the incident. The woman was provided refuge at a neighbour’s house while Mela Ram Sharma, chairman of the Block Development Committee, also provided her financial help.

Sharma said that he had requested the revenue staff to provide immediate relief to the family, which had lost their entire belongings. The Revenue Department was assessing the loss suffered in the incident.

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).
