According to police sources, personnel from the Special Cell team, disguised as civilians, reportedly entered the Red Fort premises carrying a dummy bomb, which went unnoticed by on-duty security staff.

Following the lapse, all seven personnel were immediately suspended for negligence.

Every year on Independence Day, Prime Minister hoists the National Flag from the ramparts of the Red Fort, accompanied by a 21-gun salute. In view of the preparations, the entire area remains under tight security with drones, snipers and multi-layered arrangements.

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).
