Patiala, July 17

A 15-year-old boy died after being bitten by a snake in Patran block of the district on the intervening night of Friday and Saturday.

The boy has been identified as Dilpreet Singh from Patran city. After returning home from the fields, he had gone to the poorly lit washroom to answer nature’s call when a snake bit him. However, he did not realise it and went to sleep.

After sometime, his father Harwinder Singh went to the washroom and spotted the snake, which tried to bite him. He killed it with a stick.

In the meantime, Dilpreet, the only child of his parents, started complaining about pain in his leg. He was taken to a hospital in Patran, from where he was referred to a hospital in Patiala where he died. — TNS

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).
