A labourer working at a brick kiln near Budhrawali village allegedly died by suicide on Friday. He was reportedly in depression as some co-workers, whom he had helped get hired, left without completing their work despite receiving the advance payment.

The deceased was later identified as Vinod (50).

The police said a case had been registered at the Lalgarh police station near Sriganganagar after a report was filed by the deceased’s brother, Sukhchain. ASI Balwant Singh said Vinod, who was living with his family at the New Balaji brick kiln near Budhrawali village, died after hanging himself from a tree near the brick kiln on Friday.

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).
