Amritsar, June 18

In wake of threats issued by J-K based terrorist organisations to bomb railway stations in Punjab, security has been beefed up in and around the Amritsar railway station.

Railway officials said that the personnel of the Railway Protection Force (RPF) and Government Railway Police (GRP) are keeping round the clock vigil. They are keeping a track of passenger movement through CCTV cameras and checking the suspicious movement of people besides their bags and baggage. So far, nothing incriminating has been found.

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).
