The CBI court has sent Manimajra station fire officer Dassehru Singh and leading fireman Kamleshwar to judicial custody. The two employees of the Municipal Corporation’s Fire Department were arrested on Thursday for allegedly accepting Rs 80,000 bribe for issuing a fire no-objection certificate (NOC).

As per the CBI, the agency received a complaint that the accused officers were demanding bribe to expedite the issuance of the NOC required under fire safety regulations. The applicant who was not willing to pay the bribe filed a complaint with the CBI. After a preliminary inquiry, the CBI laid a trap and arrested the accused.

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).
