The incident took place on Saturday when she was boarding a bus at Bhattakufar. At that time, a portion of the road sunk, creating a pit about 15 feet deep and around seven feet wide. As a result, the girl fell into the pit and the tyre of the bus also got stuck in the pit.
She was then safely rescued by the people who used a rope to pull her out from inside the pit. Locals have stated that the bus could have fallen into the pit had it moved forward.

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).
