Two persons died and 30 were injured when a truck carrying kanwariyas came in contact with a hanging overhead power line in Rajasthan’s Alwar district on Wednesday, a police officer said.

The group of kanwariyas and locals were performing a parikrama (circumambulation) of the Beechganwa village in a DJ truck when the vehicle came in contact with the electric wire.

The deceased were identified as Gopal (22) and Suresh Prajapat (40), both residents of Beechganwa. A video of the incident surfaced on social media. It shows a group of devotees dancing, before several of them who were walking close to the truck suddenly collapsed to the ground.

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).
