Abohar, July 9

Three residents of Sriganganagar near Abohar were among the devotees who died in the Amarnath flash flood in Kashmir.

The deceased have been identified as Sushil Khatri, a retired police inspector; Mohan Lal Wadhwa, former president of the New Cloth Market in Sriganganagar, and his wife Sunita Rani Wadhwa. Dr Haritima, Additional District Magistrate, Sriganganagar, said the death of the residents was confirmed by the senior officials in Kashmir.

Khatri had uploaded pictures of the yatra on social media a day before his death.

Navneet Sharma, president, Amarnath Langar Seva Committee, said a batch of 15 pilgrims had left from Sriganganagar on July 3.

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).
