Chandigarh, May 31

On a call given by the District Bar Association, Chandigarh, lawyers of the District Courts abstained from work post lunch today.

Sunil Toni, president of the District Bar Association, said the decision was taken to protest inaction by the police on the complaints filed by an advocate. He said two FIRs were lodged on April 18 at the Industrial Area police station by the advocate against some persons who allegedly misbehaved with his daughter. Toni said the accused also trespassed on the premises of the advocate. The police are not taking any action in this regard, he claimed.

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).
