Patiala, April 6

Four schoolchildren were injured after an auto-rickshaw and a car collided on the Patiala-Sirhind road today morning.

One of the students suffered a hip injury was shifted to PGI, Chandigarh.

Police officials said the auto driver was driving on the wrong side of the road, which apparently caused the accident around 8 am today.

Tripuri SHO Pardeep Bajwa said the students were on their way to school when the auto-rickshaw they were travelling in collided with the car. The four students, along with the auto-driver, were injured in the accident.

“A girl suffered hip dislocation and was referred to PGI, Chandigarh. She is out of danger. The other students escaped with minor injuries,” the SHO 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).
