A paragliding accident occurred near the Garsa landing site in Kullu yesterday, resulting in the death of a tourist and injuries to the pilot. The incident happened around 4 pm when the paraglider, flying at an altitude of about 100ft, crashed. The tourist, Jayash Ram (28) of Tamil Nadu succumbed to his injuries. Pilot Ashwani Kumar sustained serious injuries.

Ashwani Kumar (27) from Garsa in Kullu was referred to PGI-Chandigarh for treatment. The body of the deceased was sent to the Lal Bahadur Shastri Government Medical College in Nerchowk for post-mortem. Kullu SP Karthikeyan Gokulachandran said an FIR has been filed under Section 125 and 106 of the BNS at the Bhuntar police station.

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).
