Bathinda, May 19

Anti-social elements mailed threat letters warning of bomb attacks in Bathinda to a politician, officers and traders. A similar letter was also pasted on the boundary wall of the Government Rajindra College in the city.

The handwritten letters mention 10 spots — Quila, railway station, Adesh Hospital, SSP office at mini secretariat, Bathinda jail, ITI flyover, Mittal Mall, new car parking, Nirankari Bhawan and the farmers’ protest site. The letter states that the blasts in Amritsar were just a trailer. SSP Gulneet Singh Khurana said, “An FIR has been registered. Those behind this letter will be arrested soon.”

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).
