Mandi, April 21

A UK national was killed while two other persons were injured when the vehicle they were travelling in fell down into a deep gorge in Lahaul valley of Himachal Pradesh on Thursday.

According to the police, the accident occurred near Shiti nullah in the tribal district of Lahaul and Spiti.

One person died on the spot, while two locals, Shamsher and Vijay, suffered injuries.

Lahaul and Spiti SP Manav Verma said the injured were rushed to a Manali hospital.

The deceased has been identified as Jovita, 58, a male citizen of England.

A case has been registered and an investigation is on to ascertain the cause of the accident.

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).
