Nawanshahr, May 29

Four youths of Ward No.4 of Balachaur town, who had reportedly jumped into the Sutlej to get relief from the scorching heat this afternoon, drowned.

The youths – Hardeep Kumar, Mani, Sandeep and Happy — came to Auliapur village on their bikes along with other youths around 2.30 pm. Four of them drowned and could not be found.

DSP, Balachaur, Tarlochan Singh said their bikes, clothes and footwear were found along the Sutlej. “We had deployed professional divers from Ropar, who after five hours of effort finally managed to pull out the bodies,” he said.

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).
