A special police officer (SPO) on Saturday tried to set ablaze the vehicles of a sarpanch and a panch in Jammu and Kashmir's Poonch district.

The police said SPO Shakil Mirza tried to torch the vehicles of sarpanch Subhash Chander Sharma and panch Rakesh Kumar in Mendhar area.

"The SPO was prevented from the act. He has been disengaged and a case has been registered against him," the police said. IANS

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).
