Jalandhar, June 2

A girl hailing from Ghudduwal village near Lohian, died after a fall at the Niagara Falls in Canada.

Poonamdeep Kaur, 21, a Jalandhar native, had gone to Canada on a study visa and was staying there for the past one and a half years.

As per reports, she died in a tragic accident when her foot slipped while she was on a tour to visit the famed Niagara Falls with her friends.

Falling deep into the gorge where the Niagara Falls cascades down, the student’s death has steeped her village in shock. Her friends who were visiting with her, reportedly intimated her family about the incident.

As per reports, her body has not been found so far. The girl’s father is also currently in Manila where he works. Gloom prevailed at her village when relatives came to know about the incident.

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).
