Mohali, November 23

The district administration has directed all arms licence holders, who have shifted their address from outside districts/states to Mohali, to deposit their firearms in the respective police station within 15 days or face action. On September 8, 2020, the administration had allowed only two weapons on each arms licence instead of three weapons.

District Magistrate Amit Talwar said there were 54 licence holders in the district, who had still not deposited the third weapon at their respective police station.

The police have recommended the suspension of 32 new arms licence applications to the administration. Meanwhile, the Phase 11 police nabbed Amb Sahib Colony resident Pramod, a native of Bareilly, with a country-made weapon. A case under the Arms Act has been registered against him.

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).
