Shivtar Singh (40) lost his life, while his wife Khushmandeep Kaur and parents, Surjit Singh and Jaswinder Kaur, fell ill after allegedly consuming some poisonous substance at Gurusar village in the Gidderbaha subdivision on Monday night. The condition of Surjit and Jaswinder is critical, while that of Khushmandeep is stable. The police have booked the deceased’s wife following a complaint by his brother Jagtar Singh. The complainant alleged that Khushmandeep administered poison to the entire family.

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).
