Jammu, May 21

A person died while 23 others were injured when a bus they were travelling in met with an accident near Katra on Sunday afternoon. Carrying Mata Vaishno Devi pilgrims, the bus was on its way from Katra to Jammu when it overturned near Moori area of Reasi.

However, an unknown terror group claimed responsibility, stating it was an attack.

ADGP Mukesh Singh said, “A terror group is claiming on the social media that it is a terror incident. However, as per the version of the driver, passengers and eyewitnesses, the driver lost control of the vehicle due to a sharp curve and overspeeding.”

All the injured were hospitalised.

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).
