The Hague, August 28

The toll from an accident where a truck drove off a dike and slammed into a community barbecue in a village south of Rotterdam rose to six on Sunday. The police said seven more persons were in the hospital, including one in a critical condition. Three men and three women were killed, ranging in the age from 28 to 75, the police said.

Cops said the truck driver, a 46-year-old Spanish man, is suspected of causing the accident that happened early Saturday evening in the village of Nieuw-Beijerland. His identity was not revealed in line with Dutch privacy laws. — AP

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).
