Panchkula, November 18

A Home Guards jawan deployed at Mata Mansi Devi temple was allegedly attacked with stones and sticks by eight-ten unidentified men on the intervening night of Wednesday and Thursday. The suspects also threatened to kill him while leaving the spot.

The incident took place around 1:30 am when the jawan, Surendra Pal (49), a resident of Raipur Rani, was sitting inside a security post at naka number 3 of the temple premises.

“After a stone was thrown at the post, the jawan went outside following which the suspects started pelting him with stones. They (suspects) also attacked him with sticks, leaving him brutally injured. As he shouted for help, the suspects fled the scene,” the FIR read, quoting jawan’s statement.

The victim was taken to the Civil Hospital in Sector 6 for treatment. A case has been registered at the Mansa Devi Complex police station. — TNS

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).
