Dense fog led to a severe collision between a state-run roadways bus and a private sleeper bus on the Jalandhar-Ludhiana road in Phillaur early this morning. The accident occurred on the flyover near Ambedkar Chowk, creating panic among passengers.

According to reports, the UP Roadways bus was en route from Jalandhar to Ludhiana when it collided with a private sleeper bus. The impact left the roadways bus dangling precariously from the high flyover. Fortunately, there were no casualties, though both buses sustained significant damage.

Traffic was disrupted following the accident, but authorities arrived at the scene promptly and restored vehicular movement.

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).
