A 48-year-old man, who was returning home after paying obeisance at a gurdwara, was shot by an unidentified assailant in Sector 22 on Sunday.

The victim has been identified as Amrik Singh, an employee of the Health Department, Kharar.

The victim received a bullet injury on his leg. The assailant allegedly fled by foot after the attack.

Residents gathered at the spot on hearing the gunshot. Police were informed and the injured was rushed to PGI, where he is under treatment.

Meanwhile, police have initiated an investigation into the matter. The footage of CCTV cameras installed in the area is being scrutinised.

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).
