The body of a 35-year-old man, who was swept away in a seasonal rivulet, was recovered near Khalwana village in Punjab’s Hoshiarpur on Thursday morning, police said.

The Nasrala police post in-charge assistant sub-inspector Surinder Pal Singh said Baljinder Singh, a resident of Fatehgarh Niara village, was returning home from work when he attempted to cross the Hargarh rivulet. However, due to the strong current, he was swept away.

A search operation was launched by the police, his family members and local villagers, and his body was found this morning near Khalwana.

The police have sent the body to Civil Hospital in Hoshiarpur for the postmortem examination.

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).
