Panic spread at Fazilka railway station this evening when a bogie of a goods train derailed while being filled with wheat by labourers. According to eyewitness accounts, four labourers were trapped inside the bogie but were quickly rescued by their companions, preventing a major tragedy.

The labourers explained that while they were loading wheat bags into the bogie, it suddenly derailed onto an adjoining track, trapping them inside.

Railway police official P.S. Tomar, who arrived at the scene, suggested that a technical issue may have caused the derailment. He added that a detailed investigation would determine the exact cause of the incident.

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).
