Jammu, May 22

Two local residents, who were among the 10 workers killed due to tunnel collapse in Ramban, were laid to rest today. The district administration informed that the bodies of eight other migrant workers were sent to their hometowns.

Five workers from West Bengal, two each from J&K and Nepal, and one from Assam had died.

Ramban DC Mussarat Islam said bodies of Muzaffar Sheikh (38) and Mohammad Ishrat (30) were handed over to their families within a few hours after being pulled out of the debris. Both were laid to rest at their ancestral graveyard near Panthiyal village.

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).
