Amaravati, November 15

A six-year-old boy died after falling into a vessel with steaming sambar in a private school in Kurnool district of Andhra Pradesh. Education and police authorities found alleged negligence and violations on the part of the school management for the horrific death that took place on Wednesday. Managing director Vijaya Kumar Reddy and correspondent Nagamalleswara Reddy were arrested, the police said.

Nandyal sub-divisional police officer Chidananda Reddy said no care was taken during meal distribution in the school, as a result of which LKG student Purushottam Reddy died. In fact, the hostel attached to the school was being run without mandatory permission, educational authorities 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).
