A couple hailing from Sayeed Wala village and currently living in Abohar's Gobind Nagari, reportedly consumed insecticide. Civil Hospital sources said Dayal Chand (35) and his wife Ekta (30) were brought to the hospital by their relatives. Chand claimed his relatives used to beat him up often due to family disputes. He said he consumed insecticide as he was hurt over not being allowed to enter their ancestral house.

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).
