New Delhi, October 7

Two Army personnel were killed and another was injured during a field firing exercise involving a tank in Babina, UP, Army officials said on Friday. The two personnel — naib risaldar Sumer Singh Bagaria and sowar Sukanta Mondal — were hit when the barrel of the T-90 tank burst.

“During the annual firing at Babina Field Firing Ranges on October 6, a tank barrel burst. The tank was manned by a crew of three personnel. The crew was provided medical aid and evacuated to a military hospital in Babina,” said an official.

“The commander of the tank and the gunner succumbed to burns,” the official said.

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).
