Gurugram, February 22

Dera Sacha Sauda chief Gurmeet Ram Rahim has been provided Z-plus security following reports of threat to his life from “pro-Khalistan” activists. He is on a 21-day furlough from Rohtak’s Sunaria jail where he has been serving a sentence. He will be getting 10 NSG security personnel for mobile security and two (plus eight) for residence security.

“In case the prisoner is released on parole, Z-plus security may be provided as per existing rules as he faces a high-level threat from Sikh extremists,” a communication to the Rohtak Range Commissioner read. There are inputs regarding threat to Gurmeet Ram Rahim from pro-Khalistan activists, it read. —

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).
