Abohar, August 24

The roof of a house in Panjpir Nagar here collapsed due to the downpour last night. The wife of the owner said she had just come to the room after cooking food and she escaped the collapse narrowly.

The owner, Sohan Lal, said he earned a living by working as a rural labourer. He said yesterday that his daughter had come to live in his house with her children. He said he was glad they were safe. Sohan Lal said when his wife came out of the room after cooking food, the roof of the room collapsed, and all their belongings that were kept inside were shattered under the rubble. He said they suffered a heavy loss and have requested compensation from the administration.

In the past two months, the roofs of a dozen houses in different colonies have collapsed due to rain.

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).
