Nawanshahr, June 26

The body of a 14-year-old boy, who drowned in a canal near Asron town two days ago, was recovered by the police on Friday. Victim Raman Kumar was a native of Bihar. He was presently residing at Prem Nagar. Raman along with his two friends reportedly went to take bath on Wednesday afternoon when he slipped into the deeper part of the canal.

Victim’s father Davinder Prasad searched for two days, but to no avail. The Kathgarh police deployed divers for the purpose and the teenager’s body was found floating in the canal this afternoon. SI Parminder Singh, SHO of the Kathgarh police station, said the body had been handed over to family members for last rites.

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).
