Patiala, December 15

Dense fog led to a massive pile-up on the Patiala-Chandigarh road near the Dhareri Jattan toll plaza in this district on Friday.

The collision, which involved two trucks and six cars, led to 10 people getting injured.

The mishap took place early in the morning as vehicles collided with one another. A car veered off the road and toppled.

Eyewitnesses said the fog was so dense that drivers had no time to react, leading to the collisions.

The affected stretch of the highway near the toll plaza saw a temporary closure as rescue and cleanup operations commenced.

Commuters said the absence of delineators and roadside blinkers also led to the crash.

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).
