Three passengers were injured after some unidentified people threw stones at Amritsar bound Shatabdi Express train near Khanna railway station, officials said on Wednesday.

Deputy Superintendent of Police Karnail Singh, who is investigating the matter, said the incident took place around 8 pm on Tuesday when Shatabdi Express, coming from Delhi, was about to enter Khanna railway station, 45 km from here.

Sanjeev Kalra, Director General of Punjab Railway Police, said two women — Suman and Sujata — were among the injured.

Both are residents of Amritsar. First medical aid was provided to the injured at Ludhiana railway station, the official said. PTI

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).
