Patiala, June 18

In a notable example of presence of mind and act of fearlessness off the job, an Army soldier Sepoy DN Krishnan jumped into the Bhakhra Canal and saved a teenager from drowning in it.

A video grab of the incident has gone viral online. The girl had fallen into the canal by mistake.

Later, the public relations officer of the Indian army at Chandigarh tweeted the short video and congratulated the soldier saying, “Kudos to the indomitable spirit and courage of the soldier!”

In the video, people can be seen pulling the girl out of the canal. The army soldier gets out of the canal later. Netizens also expressed gratitude to the soldier.

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).
