A 35-year-old woman and her 61-year-old mother, residents of the Nai Abadi area of Abohar, on Monday jumped into the Malukpura canal on Kandhwala Road. They were rescued by bystanders.

Police officials who arrived at the scene shortly afterward shifted both women to the Civil Hospital for treatment. They are currently receiving counselling.

According to preliminary information, the woman had been under significant mental distress. Family sources said she was married a few years ago in Gurdayal Nagar and has a four-year-old daughter. Following an altercation with her husband, she had returned to her maternal home about two weeks ago.

She reportedly had health concerns and had been facing stress in her marital life. Family members also indicated that tensions at her maternal home contributed to her distress.

Further inquiry is under way.

THE TRIBUNE, India’s oldest, daily English-language newspaper, was first published on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan), and save for 40 days in the immediate aftermath of Partition, has come out every day over the last 145 years. THE TRIBUNE was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist of the time. The newspaper is run by a five-member Trust, which is chaired by Shri N N Vohra, former Governor of J&K State (2008-2018); as well as Justice S S Sodhi, former Chief Justice of the Allahabad High Court; Shri Gurbachan Jagat, former Governor of Manipur; Lt Gen. Shamsher Singh Mehta, former Western Army Commander; Shri Paramjit Singh Patwalia, Senior Advocate in the Supreme Court.

THE TRIBUNE is free, objective, and independent. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language, are the hallmarks of the paper.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
