Shimla, January 23

Three persons, including two school going kids, were killed on the spot when the vehicle (HP 51 A 1810) they were travelling in fell into 400 metre deep gorge at Hori village near Bhouila on Mehli- Shoghi bypass on the outskirts of Shimla town today.

The accident occurred around 4.30 pm. All the three occupants of the vehicle were going for a birthday party when the tragedy struck. The villagers informed the police about the mishap.

The deceased have been identified as Anchal, a resident of Chhota Shimla, Aastha, a resident of Navbahar and Suraj of Summer Hill. The bodies have been taken to IGMC, Shimla, for postmortem, police sources said.

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).
