Chandigarh, May 27

Miscreants threw stones on the Shatabdi Express (12005) coming from Delhi to Chandigarh near Dappar this evening. A stone pierced through the glass window and landed on the floor of the coach.

Passengers on seat numbers 73, 74, 77 and 78 in the C-4 coach stated that a stone came crashing through their window and landed on the floor inside the coach. The incident occurred around 8.20 pm.

Inspector Amarinder Singh, SHO of the Railway Protection Force at the Chandigarh railway station, said no one was injured in the attack.

He said they had registered a case against unknown persons under Section 153 of the Railway Act, but no arrests had been made so far. He said the Dappar section on the Ambala-Chandigarh track was vulnerable to such incidents as a month ago, a similar incident had happened.

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).
