Chandigarh, April 13

The UT police have arrested four members of a gang, who used to steal BSNL cables laid underground.

The suspects have been identified as Vijay Kumar (28), Ashok Kumar (42), Sanjeev Kumar (28) and Ravinder, alias Ravi (42), all residents of a Jhujhar Nagar, Mohali.

The police said Ravinder was the kingpin of the gang and Ashok, a scrap dealer who used to purchase stolen goods. A total of five cases of cable thefts in the city have been worked out with their arrest. —

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).
