Phagwara, July 26

Three members of a family — Avtar Singh, his wife Sonia and their 16-year-old daughter — have reportedly died by consuming poison at Mallpur-Adhhka village near Nawanshahr.

An altercation between husband and wife was said to be the reason behind the step. It was reported that Sonia and her daughter took the extreme step in the presence of Avtar, who also consumed the substance after the duo fell unconscious.

Sonia and her daughter were admitted to a private hospital in Nawanshahr in a serious condition, but could not be saved. Avtar was rushed to the Civil Hospital, where he was declared dead.

Meanwhile, Amarjit Singh, Sonia’s brother, alleged that Avtar was a habitual drinker and used to abuse the family members.

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).
