The Chabal police arrested a juvenile, a resident of a village in Amritsar district, with an illegal weapon from Panjwar village here on Sunday.

The Assistant Sub-Inspector (ASI), Ram Singh, who was heading a police party, said here on Monday that the cops were on routine patrol when they got suspicious of the movement of the juvenile at Panjwar village on the Chabal-Khemkaran road. The police signalled to stop him and on searching him, they recovered one country-made pistol with a cartridge from his possession.

Assistant Sub-Inspector Ram Singh said during his preliminary interrogation, the suspect said he was in the area to sell the illegal weapon.

A case under Sections 25, 54 and 59 of the Arms Act has been registered against him by the police.

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).
