Patiala, October 15

Five people, including a 12-year-old child, were killed and 12 others injured in a road accident on the Patiala-Pehowa road in the wee hours of Friday.

The injured are undergoing treatment at Government Rajindra Hospital, Patiala.

Police said the accident took place near Jagatpur village around 3 am when a Scorpio SUV collided with a tractor-trolley.

Sources said over two dozen people in the tractor-trolley were heading towards neighbouring Haryana to attend a religious function when the SUV rammed into it.

Of the five killed, three were occupants of the tractor-trolley while two were those of the SUV.

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).
