Chandigarh, January 30

The police today conducted a search at a Sector 26 club following a bomb threat call.

The police said manager of ‘ASOD’ received a call from an unidentified person on his phone this afternoon, claiming there was a bomb in the club.

The manager informed the police control room, following which teams, including Operations Cell and bomb disposal and dog squads, reached the scene. A search was conducted, but no suspicious object was found inside the club.

The police said a case had been registered against an unidentified person at eh Sector 26 police station and an investigation initiated.

This is the second hoax call in less than a week in the city. Earlier, a bomb threat was received at the District Courts, Sector 43, on January 24, leading to a massive search operation that lasted around five hours.

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).
