Two Dera Bassi residents were bitten by stray dogs in a street connecting Punjabi Bagh and Sadhu Nagar.

Victims Amarchand Gupta and Baldev Raj Gupta were attacked by a pack of stray dogs while they were out on an evening walk. Passersby rushed to shoo away the dogs and took the victims to the Dera Bassi subdivisional hospital.

Residents said the number of stray dogs has increased alarmingly in residential areas and it has become difficult to venture out in morning and evenings. “Elderly, women and children are a vulnerable lot. The Municipal Council must take immediate remedial measures to check their number,” they said.

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).
