At least four persons including a woman were killed and two others injured when lightning struck them in Odisha’s Nuapada district on Sunday, police said.

The incident took place when six people engaged in house construction work at Mallikamunda village in the district were struck by lightning.

They were immediately rushed to the nearby government hospital, where four were declared brought dead, police said.

The two injured persons were under treatment at the government hospital at Komna, they added.

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).
