Abohar, September 2

A speeding tractor-trailer fell into a canal today in Sriganganagar. A youth, who was driving the vehicle, died due to drowning.

The deceased has been identified as Naresh Jat of Chak 4-E village. His body has been kept at the civil hospital.

According to information, passersby saw a speeding tractor-trailer falling into the Perennial Canal Bridge. They called the police, which roped in divers to pull out the victim.

Naresh was found tied to the driver’s seat with a towel. He was taken to a private hospital on Sukhadia Nagar Road where doctors declared him dead. The post-mortem examination would be done tomorrow, said the police.

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).
