A farmer was killed and another grievously injured after their tractor collided with a truck on the Delhi-Pauri highway, the police said on Friday.

The deceased is identified as Sumit. His friend Narendra has been admitted to a hospital, the police said.

They were transporting sugarcane to a mill in Tikola when a truck rammed into their tractor. As a result, the tractor’s trolley, loaded with sugarcane, fell on them and they collapsed. The accident took place under Ramraj police station limits on Thursday evening, they said.

Sumit’s body has been sent for post-mortem, while the truck driver has escaped, the police said. Traffic on the highway briefly came to a standstill following the accident, the police said. —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).
