UNA, JULY 3

A 22-year-old woman today died of a snakebite. A resident of Muchali village in Bangana sub division, Kanchan Devi was married two months ago. According to police sources, on Sunday night, the victim was working in her kitchen when she was bitten by a snake.

The family members took her to the Bangana government hospital from where she was referred to Una district hospital. After her condition deteriorated, she was further referred to the PGI, Chandigarh.

However, the family members took Kanchan to a hospital in Hoshiarpur, which deals in snakebite cases where she died during treatment. DSP Headquarters Ajay Thakur said the body has been handed over to the family members after a post-mortem examination.

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).
