Kotdwar (Uttarakhand), August 26

Two tourists from Delhi were killed and another was injured when their car fell into a deep gorge between Lansdowne and Jaiharikhal in Uttarakhand’s Pauri district.

The accident occurred at around 11 pm on Wednesday, Lansdowne Kotwali Station House Officer (SHO) Santosh Kunwar said.

Two of the car occupants—identified as Tarun Sharma (32), a resident of Dwarka sector 22 and Vikas Rana (33) from Kapasheda in Delhi—died on the spot, he said.

Najafgarh-resident Anuj Vatsa (32), who was injured in the accident, was rushed to the government base hospital in Kotdwar where he is under treatment, the SHO said.

The families of the victims have been informed, 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).
