Chandigarh, March 21

Two residents of Sector 25 have been arrested by the UT police for stealing a heritage manhole cover from Sector 38.

The theft of the heritage cover bearing an impression of the Chandigarh map was caught on a CCTV camera installed outside a house.

A case of theft was registered on a complaint filed by Gurcharan Singh, SDE, Subdivision No. 13, Sector 37.

The police said the CCTV footage of the area was scrutinised that led to the arrest of Prikshit (24) and Neeraj (27). The police said the manhole cover had been recovered from the accused.

An e-rickshaw and a cycle used in the crime had been impounded.

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).
