Over 530 empty cartridges of various firearms were recovered from the Narwana Branch canal on Sunday, during a police search for a stolen two-wheeler.

According to officials, the police team and divers were conducting a search operation in the canal when they accidentally discovered 539 empty cartridges, including 31 dummy rounds, packed in polybags.

Vinod Kumar, incharge of Police Post Third-Gate, said: “We were searching for a stolen two-wheeler when divers spotted empty cartridges of four different types of firearms. There hasn’t been any major firing incident in the area where so many bullets could have been used. There is also a possibility that someone may have stolen these empty cartridges from a scrap dealer and later dumped them into the canal. The cartridges will be sent for forensic examination. A case has been registered and the matter is under investigation.”

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).
