Abohar, December 7

An 18-year-old farm labourer, identified as Chanan, died by suicide in Danewala Satkosi village, 20km from here, after hanging himself from a ceiling fan. His brother’s wife found him hanging when she returned to their house in the afternoon.

According to his brother, the family was under debt following his sisters’ marriages and Chanan was upset over his inability to repay private financiers. ASI Gurmail Singh said the body had been given to the family after the post-mortem.

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).
