Moga, July 12

Depressed over lower earnings, two youths died by suicide in separate incidents.

In first incident, Amarjit Singh of Jeendhra, allegedly consumed pesticide to end his life. He used to work as a motorcycle mechanic. Rashpal Singh, father of the victim, said his son was under depression for the past couple of months and consumed pesticide.

In another incident, Ravi Dass of Safuwala, who was under debt, reportedly consumed pesticide. Preliminary probe suggested that Ravi had taken a car loan and was using the vehicle as a cab. As he used to get limited rides, he could not repay the loan.

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).
