Chamkaur Sahib, January 25

A couple had a miraculous escape when their car fell into the Sirhind canal on the Neelon road, near here, today.

Gurdeep Singh and his wife Munni Devi from Dhamian village in Hoshiarpur district were rescued by passersby soon after their car fell into canal.

According to SHO Gursewak Singh, the couple were on their way from Ludhiana to Ropar when Gurdeep lost control of the car and it plunged into the canal near Dholara bridge around 4 pm.

As the water level in the canal was lower today, the victims managed to come out of the car and climb onto its roof. Some passersby noticed the two and rescued them before calling the police, said the SHO.

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).
