Chandigarh, February 2

The Haryana State Vigilance Bureau caught red-handed an assistant lineman (ALM) of the Dakshin Haryana Bijli Vitran Nigam (DHBVN) and a police official while accepting bribe. Both officials were booked under the Prevention of Corruption Act.

An official spokesperson said in the first case the Bureau team caught Hariom, an ALM of the DHBVN posted at sub-division sub-urban, Palwal, while accepting a bribe of Rs5,000 from the complainant Dharamveer Nath for a correction in his electricity bill.

In the other case, Jaichand, sub-inspector (SI), police station (Central) Faridabad, was caught red-handed while accepting a bribe of Rs1,000 from complainant Narender Nagar of Tigaon village. The cop demanded money for processing the case for filing charge-sheet in court. —

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).
