Vadodara, January 20

The investigation into the Vadodara boat capsize tragedy has revealed that the firm managing the lake recreation zone had sublet the contract for boating activities to another company, prompting the police to book its owner and another person, a senior officer said on Saturday.

According to the police, the boat operator had no prior experience and his helper did not even know how to swim. Twelve students and two teachers among a group of picnickers died on Thursday when the boat capsized in a lake.

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.
