Shahjahanpur (UP), May 26

Eleven pilgrims headed to the Purnagiri temple in Uttarakhand were killed when a gravel-loaded dumper truck overturned on their bus, a senior official said on Sunday.

Ten other pilgrims were seriously injured in the Saturday night incident and have been admitted to Government Medical College here, the official said. Shahjahanpur Superintendent of Police Ashok Kumar Meena said the incident occurred at Hajiyapur village under the Khutar police station area when the privately owned bus had halted at a roadside eatery on its way to the temple in Uttarakhand’s Tanakpur.

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).
