Fatehgarh Sahib, May 29

An ambulance driver was killed and a co-driver injured in an accident on the Sirhind-Patiala road late last night.

The accident occurred when the driver, in a bid to save a stray cow, lost control of the vehicle and it hit a roadside tree. The driver, identified as Hardeep Singh (29), died on the spot, while his co-driver, Labh Singh, was admitted to the Civil Hospital, from where he was referred to a Ludhiana hospital in a critical condition.

ASI Piara Singh said Hardeep and Labh, residents of Mulanpur Dakha and Ludhiana, respectively, were ambulance drivers with ESIC Model Hospital, Ludhiana.

They were returning to Ludhiana after dropping off a Covid patient at Rajindra hospital, Patiala, when their ambulance met with an accident around 1 am. — OC

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).
