Chamba, July 24

The recent wild bear attacks have created panic among villagers living near the forests of Holi tribal area of Chamba district.

A villager in the Holi area, who was attacked by a wild bear on Wednesday, succumbed at his home. Victim Panjaba Ram was grazing his cattle when he was attacked. He was discharged after treatment at a nearby hospital. At home, his condition deteriorated and he died.

Another villager of Holi area was targeted by a wild bear. He too was grazing his livestock. He is under treatment as he has sustained injuries.

Meanwhile, local MLA Jia Lal Kapoor has already directed the officials concerned to provide relief to the affected families.

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).
