Solan, January 23

A team of the Vigilance, led by inspector Sanjay Kumar, caught a lady head constable Satya Devi, posted at Police Lines, Nahan, red-handedly while accepting a bribe of Rs 30,000 from Vidya Dutt, a resident of Nihog village in Nohradhar of Sirmaur, for getting her son recruited as a special police officer in the Police Department.

ADGP, Vigilance, Anurag Garg, said no such recruitment was being done in the department. A case under the Prevention of Corruption Act had been registered against the head constable while further probe was under way. — TNS

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).
