Two farmers, Gurdeep Singh (35) and Didar Singh (45) from Majra village in the Payal area, lost their lives late on Wednesday night after the tractor-trailer they were using to transport their sugarcane crop to a mill in Amloh overturned. The accident occurred near Bahomajra when the tractor lost balance and struck a railing, causing the entire load of sugarcane to fall onto the two men.

Road Safety Force Inspector Sukhdev Singh, along with help from other passers-by, managed to pull both farmers out from under the heavy load. Gurdeep Singh was pronounced dead at the scene, while Didar Singh later succumbed to his injuries after being rushed to the Civil Hospital.

The incident has left the local community in shock and mourning.

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).
