Ten pilgrims returning from the Amarnath yatra were injured when they jumped out of a moving bus in Ramban after the driver informed them about the failure of its brakes, sources said on Tuesday.

Noticing the pilgrims jumping out of the vehicle, Army men and police personnel managed to stop the bus by placing stones beneath the tyres of the vehicle. This prevented the bus from plunging into a gorge. The video of the incident has gone viral. The Army’s quick reaction teams and an ambulance provided medical aid to the injured at Nachalana.

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).
