A person died and two others were rescued in an injured condition after a cab carrying nine passengers from Uttar Pradesh skidded off the road and plunged into the Chenab river along Jammu-Srinagar national highway on Wednesday.

A rescue operation by the police, the Army and the civil quick reaction team was under way. A team of Army divers was also called to find out the six missing passengers, a police official said. He said the Jammu-bound vehicle fell into the fast flowing Chenab near Dougipulli-Karol in Chanderkote area. — PTI

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).
