Kullu, April 12

A couple was killed while their daughter, daughter-in-law and eight-month-old grandson were injured when their car fell into a gorge near Ghiyagi in Banjar of this district on Monday.

Superintendent of Police Gaurav Singh said the family belonged to Thanera village in Mandi district and they were going towards Banjar. He said after preliminary investigation, it appeared that the accident occurred due to brake failure.

Yogeshwar Sharma (55) and his wife Lata Sharma (55) died on the spot. Kanvi Sharma (24), daughter of Yogeshwar, his daughter-in-law Namrata Gautam (29) and her son Priyank Saxena (8 months) were injured.

A police team rescued the injured persons with the help of local people and they were shifted to hospital.

The bodies of the victims were handed over to the relatives after the post-mortem examination.

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).
