Nahan, July 20

In a heart-wrenching incident, 48-year-old Aman Singh drowned while saving his daughter during a sudden flashflood in the Aanj-Bhoj region of Sirmaur district.

As the water began to rise alarmingly in the local stream of Retwa village, Aman Singh and his daughter were attempting to protect their cowshed. Suddenly, a fierce surge of water rushed towards them and Aman Singh pushed his daughter to safety, but he was caught in the flood’s powerful current.

This morning, Aman Singh’s body was recovered nearly 6 km from the banks of the Tons. Following reports of a cloud burst-like situation in Retwa village, SDM of Paonta Sahib Gunjit Singh Cheema and other officials rushed to the scene.

SDM Cheema said the incident occurred around 11 pm on Friday.

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).
