Over 458 kg of banned firecrackers were seized and a man arrested following a police raid in the Jaikampura area of Gurugram.

The arrested accused was identified as Harsh Arora, a resident of Jaikampura, Gurugram. According to the police, a total of 485 kg and 180 g of banned firecrackers were recovered from his possession. A case has been registered under relevant sections of the Explosives Act at City Police Station.

“During police interrogation, it was revealed that the accused had brought the fireworks from Delhi with the intention of selling them. He had stored them in the basement of his rented house in Jaikampura. A further probe is underway,” said a spokesperson for Gurugram Police.

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).
