A seven-year-old girl died after being injured by a kite string while riding a scooter at Kotli-Khakhian village on the Phagwara-Mukandpur road on Wednesday.

Harleen was standing in the area in front of the seat of the scooter which her grandfather Satnam Singh was riding.

As she suddenly started crying, her grandfather found her throat slashed.

She was taken to hospital where she died.

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).
