Amritsar, January 14

The police have booked two persons, including a sarpanch, for allegedly entering into a scuffle and stopping a government employee from discharging his duties.

The incident occurred in September last year, while a case was registered on Friday. Those booked were identified as sarpanch Kala and Partap Singh, both residents of Kot Sidhu village here.

Sub-Divisional Officer Rahul Jain had lodged a complaint with the rural police in October 2022, while the incident occurred on September 17 last year. He alleged that when a team visited Kot Sidhu village following an input regarding illegal sand mining in the village, the duo misbehaved with the team members, besides threatening to kill them.

Following a probe, the police have registered a case under Sections 353, 186, 506, 148 and 149 of the IPC against Kala and Partap Singh. No arrest has been made so far.

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).
