Amritsar, July 2

Unknown armed miscreants robbed two petrol pumps in the rural belt of the district on Saturday. Though the police have registered separate cases in this connection, it was yet to make any breakthrough.

Balbir Raj, a resident of Dina Nagar (Gurdaspur) who works at a filling station in Hoshiarnagar village, told the police that a car with five occupants arrived at the petrol pump at around 6 pm yesterday. One of the occupants asked to fill fuel worth Rs 2,000 in the car. Meanwhile, two of them came out and took cash worth Rs 10,000 from his pocket by pointing a pistol at him. While escaping, they fired in the air.

In another instance, armed persons robbed another petrol pump employee in Bhitewad village falling under Lopoke police station area yesterday.

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).
