Faridkot, November 18

Following the death of a youth in an accident on Friday, the police have booked two farmers for causing his death due to negligence and violating official orders.

Amarinder Singh (18) was returning to his home at Machaki Khurd village on his motorcycle and collided with a stationary tractor-trolley, which was not visible due to a thick layer of smoke on the road. The smoke was emanating from nearby fields where paddy stubble was set on fire.

As per Jagseer Singh, Amarinder’s father, his son died on the spot due to head injuries. The police have registered a case against farmer Nachhatar Singh and his son Asmeet Singh under various sections of the IPC.

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).
