Chandigarh, August 5

A woman, 29, fell down a deep gorge at Borane Ghat in Maharashtra while trying to click a selfie. She was later rescued by Home Guard staff and a few local residents. She was with a group of people from Pune to Thoseghar waterfall.

While taking a selfie at Borane Ghat, Nasreen Amir Qureshi from Warje, Pune, slipped down a 60-feet-deep gorge.

A video of the incident, showing Nasreen falling while attempting to take a selfie, and then being pulled by with the help of a rope has gone viral on social media. The incident has, however, sparked a discussion as to why she was there amid heavy rains.

Off late, the trend of taking selfies in risky locations for social media fame has become common, often resulting into tragic mishaps.

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).
