A worker, Randhir Kumar, was killed, another reported missing and 14 others were injured in a powerful blast at Ordnance Factory Khamaria in Madhya Pradesh’s Jabalpur district on Tuesday morning, officials said. Among the injured, one was in the ICU, they said. The factory’s general manager, MN Haldar, said the explosion took place during the “boil-out” process of a Russian missile around 10.45 am. It was a regular process, being carried out on a daily basis, he said.

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).
