The body of a newborn girl was found buried in a ditch in Lakshman Nagar here. A stray dog dug up the pit and scratched the body of the newborn. Local residents shooed the dog away and informed the police. After the incident, the Daba police reached the scene. The police took the body in their custody and kept it in the mortuary of the Civil Hospital for autopsy.

The police said someone had dug a pit in the area and buried the body of the newborn. The condition of the body suggests that the baby was born only a few days ago. There are also marks of scratches made by a dog on some parts of the body.

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).
