In a special crackdown on people posting pictures with weapons on social media, the police arrested a young man from Nathusari Chopta area of Sirsa. The man, Rahul, a resident of Ganja Rupana village, had uploaded a photo on Instagram holding a gun. Taking serious note of the situation, the police arrested Rahul and charged him under the Arms Act. The police took quick action to ensure that such incidents do not spread fear among the public.

Sub-Inspector Rajaram confirmed the arrest and said that a case was filed against Rahul at the Nathusari Chopta police station. Superintendent of Police Vikrant Bhushan directed all police station heads and the cyber cell team to keep a close watch on social media posts. He emphasised strict action against anyone who uploaded photos or videos with weapons to create fear or panic.

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).
