A team of the Forest Department, UT, rescued a nearly 10-foot-long python from the Lake Club here on Wednesday.

Dr Abdul Qayum, Deputy Conservator of Forests, UT, said they received a call on their helpline number about the presence of a huge python at the Lake Club.

A team of experts was immediately dispatched to the spot, he said and added that the python was rescued within half an hour and released in the nearby Sukhna Wildlife Sanctuary. The girth of the python was around two feet, he added.

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).
