A 38-year-old man sustained serious injuries after being attacked with a sharp object near Parala Mandi in Theog subdivision, Shimla district, the police said on Monday. The victim, identified as Sagar, a resident of Chopal, was asleep inside his pick-up vehicle during the early hours when unidentified assailants knocked on his window. On opening it, he was allegedly asked for money. When he resisted, the attackers assaulted him with a sharp weapon and fled. The police rushed to the spot after receiving the information and shifted the injured to Civil Hospital, Theog, from where he was referred to Indira Gandhi Medical College (IGMC), Shimla. Doctors confirmed he sustained head and facial injuries.

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).
