Shimla, September 10

The body of a trekker, who died last Saturday, has been retrieved from a crevasse in Kinnaur district. State Disaster Management Authority (SDMA) Director Sudesh Mokhta today said the trekker’s body was retrieved by a team of Dogra Scouts and Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP).

It would take two days to bring the body to Sangla, according to information received from the Deputy Commandant of the ITBP’s 2nd Battalion Kullu (Nagasti Post), he said.

Three trekkers and six porters had gone missing at the Kamlo Pass in Chitkul. One trekker and three porters reached Kinnaur but two others and three porters could not return.

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).
