Una (HP), March 24

Two men who had come to Mairi village of Una to take part in the Baba Vadbhag Singh fair died of unknown causes in the fair complex, police said on Sunday.

Located around 40 km from Una, the fair is visited by a large number of people for the legendary powers of the ‘dera’ (shrine) to cure people possessed by the “evil spirits”.

Pradeep Kumar, 50, of Jammu and Kashmir’s Rajouri, was reported sick from Sector-3 of the fairground. He was rushed to Amb Civil Hospital where he was declared dead on arrival, police said.

Sajan, 25, from Mukerian, Punjab was found in an unconscious state from the same area. He too was declared dead at the hospital.

Police are investigating the cause of both deaths and are waiting for post mortem reports.

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).
