Panchkula, October 17

The district administration has imposed Section 144 in the areas surrounding the District Court Complex, banning gathering of five or more persons.

A special CBI court is expected to pronounce the quantum of sentence against Dera Sacha Sauda chief Gurmeet Ram Rahim and four other convicts in the murder case of a dera follower.

Carrying of any weapon like sword, lathi, stick, iron rod, etc, except for sheathed kirpans, has also been prohibited.

The dera chief will be produced in the court tomorrow via videoconferencing while the four other convicts will be brought in person for the sentencing.

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).
