Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh on Monday ordered a magisterial probe into the circumstances leading to the roof collapse of a factory in Baba Mukand Singh Nagar, Daba road, Ludhiana, which claimed four lives and left nine others injured.

The chief minister, while expressing grief over the loss of lives, announced a compensation of Rs 2 lakhs each to the kin of the deceased, besides directing the district administration to ensure free and prompt treatment to the injured.

According to a spokesperson of the Chief Minister’s officer the magisterial inquiry would be conducted by Divisional Commissioner Patiala and he has been directed to submit his report within two weeks. The chief minister made it clear that strict action would be taken against anyone found guilty of negligence, which had cost four precious lives.

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).
