Chandigarh, April 20

Chandigarh Police has bolstered its Quick Reaction Team (QRT) with the procurement of another armoured vehicle, called “Kavach Rakshak”, to counter terror activities in the city.

The QRT already has a large armoured vehicle, but the new “Kavach Rakshak” will offer improved mobility to commandos due to its small size. It will enhance the team’s capabilities to respond to any terror situation.

The elite strike force of the city police comprises policemen who have undergone commando training. They carry advanced weapons such as AK-47 rifles, MP5 machine guns, Glock pistols and LMGs.

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).
