A 54-year-old forest guard died after falling from a hillock in Ramban district, police said on Wednesday.

Abdul Gaffar Sohil, a resident of Tabeela village in Banihal, was on duty when he accidentally slipped into a deep gorge near Nachlana late on Tuesday night, they said.

Sohil was found dead at the scene by rescuers after a one-hour-long operation, they added. The post-mortem was conducted at the Sub-District Hospital in Banihal and the body was handed over to his relatives after completing the legal formalities on Wednesday, 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).
