An apartment building collapsed in northeastern Brazil on Friday morning, leaving at least eight people dead and five missing, officials said. Rescue workers scoured the rubble in a frantic search for survivors. It was not immediately clear what caused the collapse.

Two young children, including an eight-year-old and a five-year-old, were listed among the victims. Four others were pulled out alive by 9:30 pm on Friday night, according to civil defence officials. The residential structure is located in Pernambuco state, in the Janga neighbourhood on the outskirts of Recife, the state’s capital. Reuters

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).
