Three people, including the driver, were killed and several others were critically injured when a private bus they were travelling in met with a road accident in Kullu district’s Ani subdivision of Himachal Pradesh on Tuesday.

The bus, carrying 42 passengers, plunged into a deep gorge near Shakehad, on the Shwad-Ani route, around 11.30 am.

Eyewitnesses said screams and chaos prevailed at the mishap spot. The bus was mangled into pieces. Local residents rushed to the spot and began rescue operations.

Police and administrative teams also arrived at the location.

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).
