Kota (Rajasthan): At least 11 persons, including women and children, were killed after a boat carrying over 30 devotees to a temple in Rajasthan’s Bundi district capsized in Chambal river here today, officials said. Three persons were still missing while 20 devotees were rescued, they said. Belonging to Khatoli–Itawa area of Kota, they were going to Kamleshwar temple in Indergarh, Bundi. Locals, however, said 35-50 persons were on board along with 14 to 15 motorbikes. PTI

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).
