Phagwara, September 18

A trader, identified as Pankaj Duggal, was shot dead by an unidentified armed assailant outside his residence in New Mansa Devi Nagar, Phagwara, late this night.

The trader, who suffered two bullet injuries, was shifted to the Civil Hospital here, where the doctor declared him dead on arrival.

According to reports, the assailant came to his house and asked his son, Sagar, to call Pankaj from inside. As soon as Pankaj came outside, the assailant opened fire on him. The assailant fled in a car in which his accomplice was waiting.

A PCR team reached the spot after one and half hours of the incident. The trader was running his confectionary business in different parts of Himachal Pradesh.

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).
