The police have nabbed two stationery shop owners for allegedly fleecing residents on the pretext of making curfew passes. He was identified as Sargundeep Singh and Preetam Singh, both residents of Sant Avenue area, here. They own a shop on the Sultanwind road.

Sukhwinder Randhawa, in-charge, CIA staff, said the accused had pasted their mobile numbers outside their shop for providing curfew passes to vegetable, fruits vendors and grocery stores. They used to take from Rs 500 to Rs 1,000 for the same, he added. The accused used to apply online the same district administration website. They did not have any authorisation in this connection, he added.

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).
