Solan, July 8

A rail motor car derailed between Koti and Gumman stations on Shimla-Kalka route around 4.30 pm on Saturday. All 14 passengers on board were safe.

An accident relief train left from Kalka immediately to take stock of the situation and provide relief.

The engineering staff was on the job to remove the derailed car and put it on the track. The damage was being assessed.

The rail motor car accommodates few passengers only. They would be shifted to taxis for their onward journey if the rail car is not restored on the track, said a railway traffic personnel.

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).
