Abohar, October 1

A tree fell on four passengers waiting for a train at a railway station today.

Later, one of the victims identified as Bimla Devi succumbed to injuries at the Civil Hospital. The injured include Mohinder Kumar of Nai Abadi, Raj Kumar of Chanankhera and a soldier.

Harbans, a resident of Bakayanwala village located near Indo-Pak border, said he along with his wife Bimla was waiting for a train when a tree fell on them.

The Government Railway Police and the Railway Protection Force rushed the injured to the Civil Hospital.

Abohar legislator Sandeep Jakhar urged the railway authorities to give compensation to the affected families at the earliest.

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).
