Bathinda, July 16

A statue of Mahatma Gandhi was allegedly vandalised by unidentified persons at a park in Rama Mandi. Cops claimed the incident took place on the intervening night of Thursday-Friday.

SHO Harjot Singh Mann said: “Some unidentified miscreants vandalised a statue of Mahatma Gandhi at a public park in Rama Mandi. We have filed a case under Sections 379 and 427 of the IPC.” He said they were scrutinising CCTV footage to identify the miscreants.

Ashok Kumar Singla, chief, Congress (Urban), sought immediate arrest of those involved in the incident.

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).
