Jalandhar, August 29

A security guard, working at Mehr Chand Polytechnic College here, died by suicide after hanging himself from a ceiling fan in his room on the college premises on Thursday. The deceased has been identified as Shiv Nath.

The college authorities got to know about the incident on Thursday morning when the guard didn’t turn up for his duty. When other security personnel went to his room, he was found hanging from a ceiling fan. The college authorities immediately informed the police about the incident and declared a holiday for students to avoid any panic-like situation on the campus.

After receiving the information, the police from Division Number 1 reached the college for investigation and sent the body to the Civil Hospital for post-mortem. Family members of the deceased were also informed 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).
