KULLU, JULY 3

A tourist from Mumbai was killed when the vehicle he was driving fell into a 300-metre deep gorge near Lari Kot on the Jana-Bijli Mahadev forest road yesterday.

Kullu SP Gurdev Sharma said Ajay Singhvi (34) came to Manali on July 1 and went to the Jana waterfall and then to Bijli Mahadev yesterday. He was alone when his vehicle met with an accident and died on the spot.

The SP said the police reached the spot and took the body into their custody and informed his relatives. The body would be handed over to the relatives after the post-mortem. A probe was under way.

The unmetalled road to Bijli Mahadev is risky to commute. It is used by tractors and pick-up vehicles to fetch agricultural produce of farmers.

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).
