Three pilgrims from Punjab died while trekking to the Manimahesh lake in Himachal Pradesh. Preliminary reports suggest that the pilgrims died due to lack of oxygen.

The deceased were identified as Aman (18) and Rohit (18) of Pathankot and Anmol (26) of Gurdaspur. The authorities said the bodies were being brought to Bharmour for post-mortem, after which these would be handed over to the respective families, said Bharmour Additional District Magistrate Kulbir Singh Rana.

Aman was rescued from Kamal Kund, but he breathed his last at Gaurikund. Rohit collapsed on the Kugti track, while Anmol died at Dhanchho. Teams have been deployed to bring the bodies to Bharmour.

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).
