The Mandi Gobindgarh police claim to have unearthed flesh trade racket at nearby Ajnali village and arrested 10 persons, including a man, who had taken house on rent, seven girls and two youths in this regard.

The arrested girls belong to Himachal Pradesh, Delhi, West Bengal, Ludhiana, Rajpura, Mandi Gobindgarh and Patiala. The arrested youths are from Bihar and Patiala.

The police recovered Rs40,000 from the spot. A case has been registered against the suspects.

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).
