Patiala, July 29.

Three students from Punjab were killed in a road accident in Canada on Saturday. Among the victims were two siblings from Malaud village in Ludhiana — Harman Somal (23) and Navjot Somal (19). The third victim was identified as Rashamdeep Kaur (23) of Samana in Patiala district.

Sources said the students were returning by a taxi after submitting their case for permanent residency (PR) in Mountain City when the taxi driver lost control over the car after its tyre busted. The car then overturned. All three students died, while the driver survived the mishap.

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).
