A road accident near Sang Dhesian village claimed the life of a five-year-old boy, who was the only brother of two sisters, leaving the local community in mourning.

According to reports, Saleek Ram, a resident of Dhanda village, was returning home for lunch with his son Anand. As they approached Sang Dhesian, a vehicle reportedly coming from the Goraya side struck their cart from behind.

Anand sustained critical injuries in the collision. Witnesses stated that he was immediately rushed to a private hospital in Ludhiana in the same vehicle involved in the accident. The child succumbed to his injuries on the way to the hospital.

Family sources revealed that Anand was the youngest sibling and the only brother of his two sisters, compounding the family's grief.

The Goraya police have registered a case.

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).
