Yavatmal, September 28

Three persons died after a state transport bus was swept away while crossing an inundated bridge in eastern Maharashtra’s Yavatmal district on Tuesday morning. Marathwada and parts of Vidarbha received very heavy rain during the day, causing floods in many places.

The incident took place around 8 am at Dahagaon bridge in Umarkhed tehsil when the semi-luxury bus of the Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation was going from Nagpur to Nanded. There were four passengers in the bus, besides the driver and conductor. — 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).
