Mumbai, June 10

At least 12 persons, including eight children, were killed and seven others injured after two floors of a three-storeyed residential building collapsed on an adjoining single-storeyed house in Malwani in suburban Mumbai, officials said on Thursday.

The incident took place around 11.15 pm on Wednesday when Mumbai experienced heavy rains throughout the day. The building was constructed illegally and had suffered damage in cyclone Tauktae, the police said, adding its contractor has been arrested on culpable homicide charge. — 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).
