A 22-year-old youth from Lucknow, Sourav, who was residing in the Gahaur area of Mullanpur Dakha, here, drowned in a canal on Wednesday.

According to information, Sourav had gone to the canal with his two friends, who initially entered the water to cool off due to the hot weather. Sourav also jumped into the canal but struggled in the strong water currents.

Despite his friends’ efforts to rescue him, the victim drowned in the water body.

Police officials of the Dakha police station, who were called to the scene, retrieved the youth’s body from water.

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).
