A 11-year-old boy died here on Monday allegedly due to choking, after eating more than three pooris at a time while having lunch at school, police said.

The boy's father said in a complaint to police that he received a call from the school informing him about his son consuming "more than three puris" together leading to breathlessness.

The boy, a student of sixth standard, was rushed to a nearby private hospital by the school staff. The hospital staff, however, referred him to a private super-specialty hospital for better treatment.

The doctors there, who checked his health condition, declared him dead.

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).
