Chandigarh, April 24

A team of the National Security Guard on Sunday defused an explosive device found in a bag near the boundary wall of the high-security Burail jail here, said police.

A bag containing a box, detonator, some burnt wires and the explosive device was found near the boundary wall of the Burail jail here on Saturday evening.

“The NSG team defused the explosive device today,” said Chandigarh SSP Kuldeep Chahal.

He said an FIR has also been registered and investigation is underway.

Police had cordoned off the area and a fire fighting vehicle was also deployed, officials said.

Police had restricted the movement of people on the roads near the jail and traffic was also diverted.

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).
