Solan, May 21

Uttar Pradesh resident Rakesh (25) died while trying to click a selfie on a moving train ahead of the Barog tunnel yesterday. He slipped and fell about 25 feet below a railway bridge on the Kalka-Shimla railway track.

From the Solan railway station, he was rushed to the Regional Hospital in an ambulance where he succumbed to his injuries. The train was on its way to Shimla. The Kandaghat railway police were inquiring into the mishap. The deceased hailed from Varanasi in UP, said Sandeep Dhawal, SP Traffic, Tourist and Railway Police. Inquest proceedings under Section 174, IPC, are 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).
