Tarn Taran, February 4

A team of the Chohla Sahib police on Friday night arrested a seven-member gang involved in stealing transformers and other items such as wires and transformer oil.

ASI Ravinder Singh, who was leading the police team, said the gang members had been identified as Lachhman Singh of Kot Muhammad Khan, Balveer Singh of Dharamkot, Rupinder Singh, Gurpreet Singh, Lavpreet Singh, Lakhwinder Singh and Gursahib Singh of Bhinder Khurd.

The police officer said the gang had been arrested near Gandiwind Dhattal village and was indulged in stealing transformers, cable wires and other apparatus.

One vehicle and a stolen transformer have been seized from their possession. A case has been registered.

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).
