Amritsar, November 19

The Amritsar police nabbed a father-son duo carrying a Guru Granth Sahib ‘saroop’ in a suitcase at Sri Guru Ram Dass Jee International Airport today.

Jwala Singh and his son Jasvir Singh were taken into custody for violating the Sikh ‘Rehat Maryada’. They were said to be associated with the Gurdwara Nanaksar Samadh Bhai sect. Both were to board a SpiceJet flight heading to New Delhi from where they were to take another flight for Pune. The police booked the duo under Section 295 of the IPC. — TNS

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).
