Mandi, April 21

A UK national was killed while two others were injured when the vehicle they were travelling in fell into a deep gorge near the Shiti Nullah in Lahaul and Spiti today.

According to the police, at the time of accident, three persons were on board the vehicle. One person died on the spot, while Shamsher Singh of Manali and Vijay Kumar of Kardang village of Lahaul and Spiti suffered injuries.

SP Manav Verma said the injured were rushed to a Manali hospital. One person was critically injured, while another sustained minor injury. The cause of accident is yet unknown.

“The deceased has been identified as Jovita, 58, a citizen of England. A case has been registered and an investigation is on to ascertain the cause of the accident,” he added.

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).
