Solan, June 18

The Baddi police today booked the management of a healthcare unit for causing death by negligence to worker Ajay Kumar, who died of burn injuries at the PGI, Chandigarh.

Four workers had sustained burn injuries on June 14 in a blast in the packaging section at the basement of the factory.

The deceased (28) hails from Palampur. While the condition of two workers was stable, the other one was serious, as he had sustained more than 90 per cent burns.

A team of forensic experts visited the factory today and collected samples to ascertain the cause of the fire. DSP, Baddi, Navdeep Singh, said that various issues such as the building plan were being examined. — TNS

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).
