A man died after a cooker exploded in a village here, police said on Wednesday.

The victim was identified as Gyan Chand (52), a native of Parnoh village in Mandi district, they said.

Police said that Chand was working as a cook at a house in Bhadthu village. He had put lentils in a 22-litre cooker. When he tried to pick up the cooker, it exploded, leaving serious injuries on Chand’s chest and throat. The locals took him to Civil Hospital Bhoranj in an unconscious state, where the doctors declared him dead, they said.

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).
