Two persons are feared drowned after a truck rolled down into a fast-flowing stream along the Jammu-Srinagar national highway in Ramban district, police said on Saturday.

A truck on the way to Srinagar from Jammu skidded off the road and fell into deep gorge before landing into Bishlari Nullah near Hingni bridge in Ramsoo area around 9.40 pm on Friday, a police official said.

He said a rescue operation was launched immediately but neither the driver of the truck nor his helper was found inside the damaged and submerged truck.

The rescue operation is on and further details are awaited, the official said. 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).
