Two bodies of accident victims were fished out from a river in Poonch district, officials said, as the search for a minor boy continued for the third day on Saturday.

The trio were reported missing on Thursday evening when a cab carrying 10 persons skidded off the road and plunged into a river near Kalai bridge in Poonch town.

While seven persons were rescued by the rescuers, three others were reported missing, the officials said.

They said while the body of Shaheena Akhter of Manjakote was retrieved from the river near Dingla on Saturday, Abdul Aziz’s corpse was found in the same area late Friday evening.

A two-year-old boy was also reported missing after the accident and a search to locate his body was continuing when last reports were received, the officials said.

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).
