The Anti-Gangster Task Force of the Amritsar Rural Police has arrested two persons and seized two Austria-made Glock pistols along with three magazines and a motorcycle (without registration number) from them.

Those arrested were identified as Rajwinder Singh and Joban Singh, both residents of Chawinda Khurd village.

The police said the AGTF team was on patrol in the Khiala, Chawinda Khurd and Lopoke areas near the Indo-Pak border when they intercepted two persons riding a motorcycle without registration number. During questioning, the police got suspicious and frisked them.

During frisking, the police recovered two Glock 43 pistols along with three magazines from them. The weapons were apparently smuggled from Pakistan. They did not give satisfactory answers to the police queries.

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).
