The CIA-1 unit of the Kurukshetra police has arrested a miscreant and recovered an illegal weapon and two live cartridges from his possession. The accused was identified as Rakesh Kumar, a resident of Kaithal.

Kurukshetra police spokesman Naresh Kumar said that on July 19, the CIA-1 unit got a tip-off that a miscreant with a weapon was roaming in the parking area, near the VIP Ghat of the Brahma Sarovar. Rakesh Kumar was spotted near Brahma Sarovar and caught on the spot. During checking, a pistol and two live cartridges were recovered from his possession.

A case was registered under the Arms Act at the KUK police station. He was produced before a court which sent him to jail.

In another case of the Arms Act, the CIA-2 unit arrested an illegal weapon supplier. The accused was identified as Sanjay, a resident of Pehowa.

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).
