Five persons, including a child, drowned after a van with eight occupants plunged into a roadside well in this district on Saturday.

Chief Minister MK Stalin condoled the deaths and announced ex gratia. The incident happened near Sathankulam in this district when they were proceeding for a church event near here from Coimbatore. The driver of the vehicle lost control of the van while crossing Meerankulam village and it plunged into the roadside open well.

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).
