A 60-year-old man from Bishanpura village, Mahendra Nath, passed away after inadvertently consuming a poisonous substance. Nath, who belonged to the Nath sect and sold herbal medicines from village to village, fell ill last evening and was rushed to a private hospital. Despite medical efforts, he died around 4 am on Sunday.

According to Vinod, a relative of the deceased, Mahendra Nath was a father of three children and had been in the business of selling herbal medicines for many years. The cause of death is believed to be accidental poisoning. His body has been moved to the Abohar Civil Hospital’s mortuary for a post-mortem, and the police are investigating the incident further.

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).
