An ambulance transporting a body from Chandigarh to Gurdaspur collided with an unidentified truck in Mahilpur town, seriously injuring the driver and another person. Onlookers rescued the injured with difficulty and rushed them to Civil Hospital Mahilpur, from where they were referred to Hoshiarpur for advanced treatment.

Ramandeep Kumar, son of Subhash Chand from Gurdaspur, was transporting his aunt’s body—who had died in a Chandigarh hospital—in ambulance PB-01B-8351. Upon reaching Mahilpur, the ambulance crashed into the unknown truck. Driver Mandeep Singh, son of Satvir Singh from Chandigarh, became trapped in the wreckage, while the truck driver fled the scene.

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).
