Indonesia tremor kills 34

A strong earthquake shook Indonesia’s Sulawesi island after midnight, toppling homes and buildings, triggering landslides and killing at least 34 people.

The 6.2-magnitude quake injured 600 people. There are reports of many people trapped in the rubble of collapsed buildings.

Authorities are still assessing the full scale of casualties and damage in the affected areas. The quake was centred 36 km south of West Sulawesi provinces in Mamuju district, at a depth of 18 km, the US Geological Survey 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).
