Five workers were found dead at a work site of Palamuru-Rangareddy Lift Irrigation Scheme being constructed at a village in Kollapur Mandal of Nagarkurnool district in Telangana, police said on Friday.

Kollapur police inspector Venkat Reddy said the incident happened on Thursday night.

The victims were found lying with injuries in the ventilation shaft being built 100 metres below the ground and they were shifted to the Osmania Hospital here where they were declared brought dead.

Reddy said the workers were engaged in building an inner wall of the shaft.

He said investigation is on to ascertain the cause of their death.

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).
