These are the station master, traffic master and point man of Kathua and loco pilot, assistant loco pilot and loco inspector of the train.

He said the engine had not been started and it came downhill.

A goods train at Kathua railway station had suddenly started running without a driver and covered 70 km before it halted at Uchhi Bassi in Punjab’s Mukerian.

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).
