A PRTC bus driver on way to Takht Sri Hazur Sahib in Maharashtra to bring back stranded devotees died on the way Sunday.

PRTC Chairman KK Sharma confirmed about the development in a video.

KK Sharma said the driver Manjit Singh suffered a heart attack near Indore. Expressing condolences with the family he said the state government and PRTC will do the best possible for his family.

The Pepsu Road Transport Corporation (PRTC) had dispatched a fleet of 32 buses, including Volvo Scania and HVAC buses, to Takht Sri Hazur Sahib, Nanded, Maharashtra, on Saturday to bring back pilgrims stranded in the state due to the lockdown imposed in wake of COVID-19.

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).
