A team of the Vigilance Bureau (VB) arrested Varinder Goyal, reader to president, District Consumer Disputes Redressal Forum, Tarn Taran, while receiving a bribe of Rs 50,000 on Wednesday. A case in this regard was filed by a woman resident of Deo (Tarn Taran). VB sources informed that the husband of the victim woman, who was an ASI in the police department, died in a road accident in 2022. A compensation of Rs 30,00,000 was approved but the bank refused to pay on flimsy grounds and she lodged a case with the District Consumer Disputes Redressal Forum, Tarn Taran.

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).
