A speeding and rashly driven car rammed into an electricity pole at Udham Singh Nagar here early this morning. The pole got uprooted, which led to a power outage in the area.

After the incident, residents informed the PSPCL about the matter. Later, PSCPL employees reached the place and removed the damaged pole and installed a new one. After installing the new pole, electricity supply was restored in the area.

People present at the spot said the car driver suffered only minor injuries in the incident.

Meanwhile, the residents alleged that rash driving was a common practice in the area and the police should conduct patrolling to implement traffic rules and prevent such incidents in future.

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).
