Abohar, February 20

Three persons, including a father and son, were killed when the wall of a house collapsed today in Saliwala village of Hanumangarh district.

Witnesses said the new boundary wall of the house owned by Sant Lal (42) was being constructed in the village after the old mud wall got damaged. Lal and his cousin Subhash (40) were digging the foundation to construct a new wall. Lal’s son Mukesh (12) was also present there. Around 1.30 pm, the mud wall suddenly collapsed. All three were buried in the rubble. They were taken to the Civil Hospital at Hanumangarh, where doctors declared them brought dead. — 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).
