At least 17 persons were killed and 38 others injured when a bus carrying pilgrims fell into a deep ravine near a border town of Pakistan’s Sindh and Balochistan provinces, the police said on Thursday.

The pilgrims were going to pay homage at the Sufi shrine Shah Noorani in the Khuzdar district of Balochistan when their bus fell into the ravine in the Hub town on Wednesday.

In another incident, 15 people celebrating Eid drowned when their boat capsized in the Indus in northwest Pakistan’s Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province.

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).
