A pall of gloom descended on a village in Mullanpur following the death of 52-year-old Satpal Singh, who was crushed to death when the roof of his cattle shed collapsed on Wednesday.

Satpal, known to his neighbours as Kala, was sleeping in the shed, a routine he had followed for years. As the roof collapsed, he got buried beneath the rubble. After the incident, his family and fellow villagers rushed to the scene and cleared the debris but their efforts went in vain as Satpal had already succumbed to his injuries.

Officials, including naib tehsildar Karamjit Singh, reached the scene and assured administrative support to the grieving family.

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).
