Bathinda, October 31

The situation turned tense at Sidhana village today as police personnel arrived and surrounded Lakha Sidhana’s house.

The information about the raid at Lakha’s house was given to villagers through loudspeakers of village gurdwara after which a large number of villagers reached the spot. Apart from this, members of de-addiction committees also started reaching the village.

A protest was held by the villagers against this action taken by the police. People said the action had been taken at the behest of the state government as Lakha had announced to participate in the debate called by the Chief Minister at Ludhiana on Wednesday.

SSP Gulneet Singh Khurana said Lakha Sidhana had been detained at home.

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).
