Chandigarh, July 29

A 38-year-old man from Nayagaon has been arrested for allegedly trying to smoke a cigarette inside a gurdwara on the PU campus. The incident took place around 7.45 pm on July 28. Complainant Kashmir Singh stated that Vinod Kumar entered the gurdwara and tried to smoke, leading to intervention by students who moved him out.

It is alleged that the suspect reportedly engaged in an altercation later and insisted on smoking there. The PU security staff and police were subsequently informed about the incident following which they reached the spot and apprehended the suspect. A case was registered.

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).
