Jammu, December 5

At least 20 persons were injured when a bus turned turtle near Tarkundi in Manjakote of Rajouri on Monday morning. Five of them suffered critical injuries. The bus was carrying people to a marriage ceremony when the mishap took place.

The injured were shifted to a local hospital while those seriously wounded were taken to the Government Medical College (GMC), Rajouri. Eyewitnesses said the accident occurred due to overspeeding and poor condition of the road in the area.

Rajouri Deputy Commissioner Vikas Kundal met the victims at the GMC. “Sixteen injured were referred to the GMC while four were treated at the Army Hospital, Manjakote,” he said, adding that the district administration would help the injured.

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).
