Chandigarh, December 16

A Lieutenant-rank Army officer was killed while a Captain suffered injuries in the early hours of Saturday when their car overturned and fell into a roadside field in Punjab’s Jalandhar district, police said.

The accident took place around 2.30 am near Narangpur village when both the officers were travelling to Jalandhar Cantt office in their car, they said.

Police said the car lost control near Narangpur because of dense fog.

The Lieutenant, who died in the accident, was identified as Akshit, resident of Hisar in Haryana, while Captain Yuvraj, resident of Nagaur in Rajasthan, has been admitted to a military hospital, police 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).
