Jalandhar, January 28

A school student was injured in an attack by a pitbull here on Tuesday. The victim, a resident of Purian Mohalla near Mai Hiran Gate, was returning home on his bicycle after attending his tuition classes this evening when the dog attacked him.

Though residents of the area came to his rescue and attempted to shoo away the dog, it continued to hold the victim by his leg for over five minutes. The victim suffered deep injuries and were admitted to a local hospital.

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).
