Members of Shah Satnam Green Social Welfare Force, an NGO, rescued a cow that fell into a 17-ft deep uncovered tube well in Azamwala village near Patrewala bridge of Gang (Bikaner) canal on Friday.

Gurpreet Singh and Jasbir Singh Sandhu said Raj Sandhu, a farmer, informed them about the cow. Over 10 activists turned up and found that boundary wall had not been constructed despite state government’s notification about borewells/tube wells. They arranged rope and chains to lift the animal out of the tube well.

Activists said wood fire was arranged to provide relief to the animal from chill. Besides, diet and medical help was also provided. They said tube wells sans boundary wall were a threat to human beings as well. — OC

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).
