Phagwara, June 3

A pall of gloom descended on Sunday on Bhandal Buta village, near Nurmahal, on hearing the news of the death of a village youth in Philippines.

The deceased, identified as Jagdish Singh, was found murdered in Philippines’ Manila. Singh’s body was found one week after his murder.

According to villagers, Singh had been living in Manila for the past many years. He had visited the village few months back and returned to Philippines two months ago.

The bereaved family is putting in all efforts to bring back Singh’s body from Manila to conduct his last rites, they said.

Singh is survived by his widow and three daughters.

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).
