Tarn Taran, October 9

Raj Kumar Hans, member, Punjab State Scheduled Castes Commission, on his one-day visit to Karmunwala village on Friday, 40 km from here, has ordered magisterial probe into the alleged atrocities against family members of a SC community of the village. Local SDM Rajnish Arora had assigned the probe.

The victim, Virsa Singh, in his complaint alleged that village sarpanch Dalbir Singh along with 60 persons, who were armed with sharp-edged weapons, entered his house. He alleged the accused used casteist remarks against family members, pelted stones at his house, while one stone hit his nephew Gurpartap Singh. — OC

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).
