A bomb squad at the MC office in Panchkula on Thursday.

Anti-sabotage teams of the Panchkula police swung into action after the Mayor’s office received a bomb threat Thursday morning.

In an email, the sender also threatened to blow up six religious places in Pinjore, Kalka, Pehowa, and Kurukshetra. The threat mail mentioned that the public should avoid travelling by train on June 5 and 6 as railway tracks would be blown up by an IED between 9.10 am and 9.11pm.

THE TRIBUNE, India’s oldest, daily English-language newspaper, was first published on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan), and save for 40 days in the immediate aftermath of Partition, has come out every day over the last 145 years. THE TRIBUNE was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist of the time. The newspaper is run by a five-member Trust, which is chaired by Shri N N Vohra, former Governor of J&K State (2008-2018); as well as Justice S S Sodhi, former Chief Justice of the Allahabad High Court; Shri Gurbachan Jagat, former Governor of Manipur; Lt Gen. Shamsher Singh Mehta, former Western Army Commander; Shri Paramjit Singh Patwalia, Senior Advocate in the Supreme Court.

THE TRIBUNE is free, objective, and independent. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language, are the hallmarks of the paper.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
