Karnal, February 6

A team of the state Vigilance Bureau Karnal arrested an auction recorder of the Haryana State Agricultural Marketing Board (HSAMB) red-handed while he was accepting Rs 10,000 to issue a fodder licence for selling fodder. The accused was identified as Raghubir, posted at the Karnal Market Committee office.

Cops said after verifying the facts of the complaint, a team, led by inspector Seema, raided and arrested the accused red-handed from his office. “The team members are also investigating the involvement of others,” he added. “We have registered a case against the accused under various sections of the Prevention of Corruption Act,” he said.

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).
