Jammu, April 1

A young woman drowned while her two cousins were rescued after they jumped into a river in Poonch to end their lives, the police said on Saturday. They were reportedly unhappy with their families over some issue.

The girls had left their houses in Jandrola village on Friday to offer prayers at a shrine but did not return. The body of Asiya Kousar (18) was found in a river near SK Bridge late on Friday night, while two others, who were rescued from the waterbody, were shifted to a hospital, the police said. A case has been registered for a probe.

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).
