Amritsar, November 5

At a time when the security was beefed up in the city following the broad daylight killing of a Hindu leader, several armed persons led by a liquor contractor opened firing at a marriage resort here on Friday evening.

According to information, a large number of NRIs had gathered for a marriage at the resort on Amritsar-Attari road.

The incident left the participants in the marriage in panic.

The liquor contractor and his men were objecting to the liquor procured by the NRIs from another part of the city and not from their area.

Police reached the spot and were examining the CCTV footage to identify the suspects.

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).
