Amritsar: A Pakistan national was apprehended by the BSF near border fence. Later, he was handed over back to Pakistan Rangers. The BSF official said the man had crossed over to the Indian territory inadvertently on August 21, but nothing objectionable was found from his possession. The BSF approached Pakistan Rangers and sent the man back on humanitarian grounds. During this year, nine persons from Pakistan had inadvertently crossed the border, who were later handed over to Pakistan Rangers as a goodwill gesture.

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).
