Officials of the Bharmour administration rushed to the accident site and pressed personnel, mountaineering institute teams and divers into a rescue operation.

A body was recovered and the deceased has been identified as Gilo Ram (33), who was a resident of Vagru village of Bharmour subdivision, the SDM said.

The SDM said the search was on to trace another youth, Manohar (29). — OC

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).
