Around 40 schools in Delhi received a bomb threat mail on Monday morning with the sender demanding $30,000, a police official said. The threat was sent in a single e-mail marked to the city’s prominent schools. Most schools that received the threat suspended their classes and sent students back home. A Delhi Fire Services official said bomb detection teams, fire officials, the local police and dog squads conducted searches at the schools. Nothing suspicious was found.

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).
