Budapest: Only her quick reaction prevented a tragedy as Andrea Fuentes made a dramatic rescue. The United States coach knew something was wrong when she saw artistic swimmer Anita Alvarez (in pic) sink motionless to the bottom of the pool during a solo free routine at the world aquatics championships on Wednesday. The fully clothed Fuentes dived in. She swam to the unresponsive Alvarez and lifted her to the water’s surface, where others helped get her out of the pool. AP

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).
