Amritsar, June 1

The Tarsikka police have arrested a cop for allegedly assaulting an officer on poll duty yesterday. He was identified as Harpreet Singh (27), a resident of Dhaulkalan village. He was booked on the complaint of Bhupinder Singh, sector officer, who was deputed in Khujala village on an election duty.

The complainant told the police that he got a call that his duty was shifted to Gadli village. The complainant said he asked the cop to drop him at Gadli village on an official vehicle, but he got infuriated and misbehaved and assaulted him. The police registered a case against the cop and arrested him in this connection.

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).
