Panipat, October 17

A rumour about a bomb at the bus stand here created panic late on Sunday night. The police received information about the bomb at 9.15 pm and launched a search operation but nothing suspicious was found.

A joint team of three police stations, a dog squad and a bomb squad from Madhuban were pressed into service. Panipat SP Shashank Kumar Sawan said the police vacated the bus stand and conducted the search for the explosive for over three hours. The accused has been nabbed, the SP added. ASI Parminder in his complaint to city police said he received a call from the police control room at night. The caller informed him about a bomb at the bus stand. Inspector Balraj, SHO (City), said a case had been registered against the caller.

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).
