Jammu, May 20

Security forces rescued two people from drowning when their vehicle was washed away by strong river currents in Kishtwar district, officials said on Thursday.

Driver Sajid Ahmad Mir of Anantnag and Mushtaq Ahmad of Ramban were in a JCB near the bank of Maria river in Nawapachi when the digging machine suddenly got submerged due to strong flow of river, a defence spokesman said. They got washed away for around 500 metres.

On receiving information, an Army column from Nawapachi post and police reached the site and rescued the both.

The locals appreciated the prompt efforts of the Army and the police, the spokesman said. — PTI

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).
