Amritsar, October 28

The Mohkampura police have arrested six snatchers and recovered sharp weapons from them. They used to target hotel and restaurant employees who used to return home late.

Those arrested are Bittu, Sukhdip Singh, Manpreet Singh, Nishan Singh, Salman and Rohit. ACP Gurinderbir Singh Sidhu said Bittu was earlier arrested in a vehicle-lifting case and he returned from Gurdaspur jail on bail on June 29.

He said the police got a tip-off that the accused were hiding at a school’s playground and were armed with sharp weapons and planning some dacoity. He said a police team raided the spot and nabbed them. Area residents were upset as the accused were targeting hotel and restaurant employees. — TNS

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).
