Moga, August 29

A youth hailing from Gholia Khurd village in this district died in a road accident in Golden area of British Columbia in Canada on Sunday.

Jagsir Singh Gill, 28, was a truck-trailer driver. He, along with wife and two children, lived in Calgary.

A truck carrying animals, while overtaking, collided with his truck on National Highway 1. As a result, his truck overturned and both the vehicles caught fire.

Gill’s body was partially burnt and he later succumbed to his burns, said his father, Kulwant Singh.

The driver of the other truck also died of burns. He is yet to be identified.

The Trans-Canada Highway was temporarily closed following the crash.

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).
