Tarn Taran, March 31

Unidentified persons attacked granthi Sukhchain Singh Channa with sharp weapons on Thursday night. The assailants chopped off his right leg and four fingers when the victim, a resident of Khadoor Sahib, was returning home after performing his duty at gurdwara in Bania village. The assailants took away his leg while his fingers were found near the spot.

ASI Jatinder Singh Gill, in-charge, Khadoor Sahib police post, said after performing his duty, granthi Sukhchain Singh was returning home on his bike. He was attacked by unidentified persons with sharp weapons on the outskirts of Khadoor Sahib village. He was brought to an Amritsar hospital in a serious condition. A case had been registered against unidentified persons.

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).
