Three people have died, and two others remain critically injured after a gas cylinder exploded while preparing food for a wedding in Mustafabad village. The incident occurred during a wedding at Avtar Singh's home, when Baisakha Ram and Navjot Singh were handling the gas cylinder, which caught fire and engulfed six people. The victims were rushed to Fatehgarh Sahib Civil Hospital and later referred to PGI. Gurdish Kaur died yesterday, while Raj Rani and Manjit Kaur succumbed to their injuries today. Navjot Singh and Baisakha Singh are still in critical condition. The bodies were handed over to families after postmortem.

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).
