Amritsar, December 8

The Cantonment police have arrested Sehajpartap Singh, a student, for allegedly possessing two country-made pistols. The suspect is a resident of the Azad Nagar area.

Khushbu Sharma, the SHO of the Cantonment police station, said that besides two country-made pistols, the police have also retrieved 11 live bullets and an empty shell from the car, which has been impounded. A case has been registered against the youth under Sections 25, 27, 54 and 59 of the Arms Act. Khushbu said the police had got a tip-off about a youth driving an SUV near Khalsa College. Subsequently, a checkpoint was set up near Khalsa College. When the car of the suspect was intercepted, he initially tried to speed away, but was nabbed.

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).
