Amritsar, July 1

The police detained the activists of Dal Khalsa who were taking out a march to hold a protest outside the local office of India’s external intelligence agency RAW to protest the killings of Sikh separatists in foreign countries, here on Saturday. The detainees were later released by the police.

Earlier, after paying obeisance at the Golden Temple, the activists started marching towards the agency’s office. However, the police stopped them midway and bundled them into the buses while they were raising slogans against the Union Government. The police took them to Chheharta police station from where they were later released. They were protesting against the killings of militant Paramjit Panjwar in Pakistan and pro-Khalistan supporter Hardeep Nijjar in Canada.

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).
