Chandigarh, November 26

Security was beefed up for the second day at Post Graduate Government College, Sector 11, after the college received a threat email regarding a terrorist attack.

Students and visitors were frisked by policemen before they could enter the college. A police team and a PCR vehicle were stationed outside the college to keep a watch on any suspicious activity.

Police officials said the email was sent through VPN (virtual private network) due to which, they were taking time to trace the person who sent the email. The email was sent on Sunday. However, it came to the notice of the college authorities yesterday morning after which the police were informed.— TNS

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).
