A driver was injured when his tanker transporting kerosene for the Army from Una to Leh lost control and rolled around 100 metres down the slope near the Pandoh Dam in Mandi district today. The driver, Gurjeet Singh, son of Jodh Singh from Dagyana village in Jammu, sustained minor injuries in the accident.

Emergency services promptly responded and injured driver was taken to the Zonal Hospital in Mandi for primary treatment. Fortunately, his injuries are reported to be not serious. The police are conducting an investigation into the incident to assess the cause of this incident. A case has been registered in this matter.

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).
