Srinagar, June 3

A soldier died at the Command Hospital in Udhampur on Friday, a day after he was severely injured in an explosion inside a private hired vehicle in Shopian district. Three soldiers were injured in the blast.

“Naik Praveen, who was grievously injured in the blast at Sedow in Shopian, was transferred to the Command Hospital, Udhampur, where he succumbed to his injuries,” a defence spokesperson said.

Praveen was from Tehri Garhwal in Uttarakhand. He is survived by his wife and a six-year-old son.

“The mortal remains of the soldier were taken to his native village after a wreath-laying ceremony at Udhampur,” the spokesperson added.

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).
