Ludhiana, September 1

A beverage van parked at a fair in Kot Gangu Rai village electrocuted a woman to death. The deceased has been identified as 55-year-old Gurmeet Kaur, resident of Neelo Khurd. Gurmeet Kaur had reached Kot Gangu Rai village with her family to pay obeisance at the fair. The deceased’s son Amarinder Singh said when he sat in his car after paying obeisance, his mother Gurmeet Kaur was standing near the van. The owner of the vehicle was not near the van. The moment his mother's hand touched the van, she suffered a massive electric shock and died on the spot.

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).
