Hoshiarpur, September 24

A migrant worker was killed and three others were injured as a liquid nitrogen gas cylinder exploded while being filled at a private plant here on Saturday, police said.

Hoshiarpur SP (Investigation) Manpreet Singh Dhillon said it emerged during preliminary investigation that some workers were filling liquid nitrogen gas into cylinders at the plant at Deowal village.

One of the cylinders suddenly exploded, leaving one dead and three other workers injured, he said.

A forensic team had been called in from Chandigarh to probe the blast, said Dhillon.

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).
