Mohali, January 8

In view of the Assembly elections announced by the Election Commission of India, the district administration today ordered the depositing of firearms to the police station and ammunition dealers.

District Magistrate Isha Kalia, while exercising the powers vested under Section 144 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, has issued orders that firearms, ammunition, explosives, flammable items and sharp weapons such as spears, tridents etc. would not be allowed in the district.

Isha Kalia said as announced by the Election Commission of India, the Assembly elections are scheduled to take place in the state on February 14.

For the smooth conduct of the polls, it was important for the gun owners to deposit their weapons, said the District Magistrate.

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).
