Meerut (UP), February 27

Two employees of a tyre factory in a village in Incholi area were killed and three injured when a boiler exploded, police said on Tuesday. The incident took place in Phitkari village around 5 am.

While Shankar (30) and Praveen (22) were killed, the three workers injured were rushed to a hospital nearby and are in a stable condition, Senior Superintendent of Police Rohit Singh Sajwan said.

All the five are residents of Kishorpura village in Incholi in Meerut district.

The factory recycles used tyres, taking out oil and wires from them.

Initial investigations showed the boiler exploded due to excessive pressure. A further probe into the matter is under way, police said.

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).
