Shimla, March 11

Two boys are feared to have drowned in the Sutlej on Thursday. The children were playing on the banks of the river near Khaneri in Rampur subdivision of Shimla district and had stepped into the river to get their ball back. However, they are missing since.

The boys, identified as Manav Sharma and Anshul Mishtu, both aged 14, were playing cricket on the banks of the river, along with other friends. As the ball went into the river, they decided to enter the waters to get it.

The clothes and shoes of the children were found at the spot. Prime facie, it seems that the kids drowned in the river as no foul play has been noticed, said Rampur SDM and DSP, who were on the spot.

The NDRF team had searched through 1.5-km area but in vain. The search operations were going on till the filing of the report. —

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).
