The police tightened security at the RSS office in Sector 18 today and barricaded all roads leading to the premises. The area around the office was also searched, and those entering the building were frisked.

According to sources, a bomb threat targeting the RSS office was received in the morning. Senior police officers, including SSP Kanwardeep Kaur, reached the spot and held a meeting with RSS leaders.

The police refrained from giving any official statement. However, RSS office-bearers said the police periodically enhance security as a precautionary measure and this could be part of that routine.

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).
