The Kurukshetra police have arrested a man in connection with the recovery of 500 bags of urea from a truck in Pehowa, earlier this month.

The accused has been identified Mithu Ram, a resident of Patiala. He was produced before a court which sent him to two-day police remand.

A Kurukshetra police spokesman said on August 4, following a tip-off, a truck loaded with urea was parked near the Jurasi village. A police team reached the spot and recovered 500 bags of urea from the truck. Truck driver Pargat Singh was arrested. A case was registered at the Sadar Pehowa police station and during further investigation, prime accused Mithu Ram has been arrested from Patiala.

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).
