The Majitha police have arrested a person for allegedly possessing an illegal gun. After registering a case, the police launched a probe. He was identified as Agyapal Singh of Galowali Colonia.

The police said the police got a tip-off that Agyapal Singh was having an illicit weapon. He was going from Amritsar to Majitha. He was intercepted at a check-point near the Majitha bus stand.

During the search, the police recovered a single barrel .12 bore calibre gun. He could not produce any documents or arms licence. Following this, the suspect was arrested and a case under the Arms Act was registered against him.

The police also impounded his scooter. Further investigation was underway to ascertain the source of the weapon.

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).
