Dhaka, August 27

At least 20 people drowned while dozens more were feared missing after an engine-run passenger boat capsized at the Titash river in central Brahmanbaria on Friday, officials said.

“We have so far retrieved 20 bodies… the search for more is underway,” Brahmanbaria’s Deputy Commissioner Hayat-Ud-Doula Khan told newsmen at the scene.— PTI

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).
