In view of the upcoming Hanuman Jayanti procession, Delhi Police has stepped up security in Jahangirpuri area, an official on Saturday said.

The authorities are on high alert following announcements by several Hindu organisations, including the Vishwa Hindu Parishad, to take out processions in the area.

“As a precautionary measure, Rapid Action Force (RAF) units and additional Delhi Police personnel have been deployed in sensitive pockets of Jahangirpuri,” said the officer.

“No one will be allowed to breach law and order situation,” he added.

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).
