A person died and five were injured as potash reportedly exploded before the beginning of a shobha yatra on the Basant Panchami festival yesterday. The yatra was organised to immerse the idol of Goddess Saraswati at Hanumangarh, 60 km from Abohar. The injured were shifted to the Civil Hospital while Deepak Rai (19) succumbed to the injuries.

The police said a Saraswati Puja programme was organised at a temple in the ITI colony. After completing the rituals, devotees were preparing to start a shobha yatra when suddenly an explosion took place. — 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).
