The police have booked several employees of the Electricity Department for defying the District Magistrate’s (DM) orders. According to the complaint filed by ASI Sailender Singh, a group of around 30 people gathered in Sector 25. They were raising slogans against the privatisation of the electricity department and marching toward the Sector 25 colony. They had no permission from the DM to hold the demonstration.

A case under Section 223 (disobedience to order duly promulgated by public servant) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) has been registered.

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).
