Nahan, May 6

A 23-year-old man died of drowning in Giri river near Karganu yesterday.

Gautam Verma, a resident of Mohali, along with his friends Rohit and Yogesh, entered the river for a bath around 4.30 pm.

Soon, he found himself caught in a deep whirlpool, struggling to stay afloat.

His companions Rohit and Yogesh raised the alarm to draw the attention of locals.

Despite swift efforts by the locals, Gautam Verma died before he could be brought out of the river.

The police said the body was handed over to the family after post mortem today.

The trio, employed in a private company in Chandigarh, had come to Yashwantnagar after taking a break from work.

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).
