Amritsar, June 7

The Gharinda police have booked five persons for alleged cross-border weapon smuggling. The suspects used to sell smuggled arms in different parts of the border belt. According to the police they were yet to be arrested. Raids were on to nab them.

Those booked were identified as Akashdeep Singh, a resident of Mode border village, Manak Verma, a resident of Tarn Taran, Samandeep, a resident of Shaheed Udham Singh Nagar, Bahadar Singh, a resident of Gujjarpura locality and Sikander Singh.

A case under the Arms Act was registered against them at the Gharinda police station 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).
