Shimla, August 28

Three trains were cancelled on the heritage Kalka-Shimla railway track after a railcar derailed near Tara Devi between Shimla and Shoghi around 11 am on Sunday. However, all eight passengers on board were reported safe.

The railcar was on its way from Kalka to Shimla when the incident occured. The restoration work was underway and three trains were cancelled, said Station Superintendent, Shimla Railway Station, Joginder Singh, adding that the track was expected to be repaired by late evening. The reason for derailing of the railcar was not known.

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).
