A woman was killed while two others sustained injuries after the pick-up truck they were travelling in plunged into a deep gorge in the Junga area of Shimla district.

The deceased has been identified as Sarla, while the injured have been identified as Anil Kumar and Pradeep Kumar. The accident took place on the Batola-Piran link road in Junga near Nalta village, when Pradeep, who was driving the vehicle, lost control, causing the pick-up truck to plunge into a deep gorge.

A police team reached the spot and rescued the passengers with the assistance of locals. They were rushed to the Indira Gandhi Medical College, where doctors declared Sarla dead on arrival.

The two injured passengers are undergoing treatment.

Shimla SP Sanjeev Kumar Gandhi said a case under sections 281 (rash driving) and 125A had been registered.

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).
