Two persons were killed after a pick-up van they were travelling in plunged into a deep gorge at Sunni tehsil in Shimla district.

The deceased were identified as Prem Chand (40), son of Bheem Ram, and Dinesh (36), son of Tej Ram — both residents of Gaderi village in Sunni. The accident took place on Sunday night near Jalog village when the driver lost control of the vehicle, following which it plunged into a deep gorge.

The vehicle was noticed by locals the next day, following which they called the police. A team reached the spot and recovered the bodies, which were then taken to Sunni Civil Hospital. After the post-mortem examination was conducted, the victims’ bodies were handed over to the kin.

Police officials said further investigation into the matter was underway.

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).
