The police have arrested three men under the Arms Act and recovered two country-made pistols and seven live cartridges.

Acting on secret tip-off, Head Constable Dinesh Kumar and his team intercepted a suspect near Tech Mahindra Road, IT Park, on September 18. The man, identified as Pawan (26) and a resident of New Indira Colony, Chandigarh, was found carrying a country-made pistol and a live cartridge without any licence or permit. He was taken into custody.

During questioning, Pawan revealed the names of his associates, leading the police to the arrest of Mantu (36), a resident of Bhankar village in Mohali, and Arvinder Singh (25) of Pipliwala Town, Manimajra.

A pistol and four live cartridges were recovered from Mantu, while Arvinder was found in possession of two live cartridges.

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).
