Talwara: A 47-year-old resident of Amroh village in Talwara block committed suicide due to lack of work because of the lockdown. Police station in-charge Talwara Bhushan Sekhari said deceased’s wife Pinki told the police that her husband Sonu used to play band during jagrans. He had no work due to the lockdown, due to which he was upset. On Friday night, after having dinner, he went to his room and slept, while she slept in another room. When she went to wake him in the morning, the door was locked. When she looked through the window, Sonu’s body was hanging from a ceiling fan. The Talwara police have recorded proceedings under Section 174 of the CrPC and handed over the body to the family after post-mortem. OC

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).
