A month after the Chief Secretary’s office received a bomb threat email, another threat email claiming to blow up the Himachal Pradesh Secretariat was received today.

Taking prompt action, bomb squads along with sniffer dogs reached the spot and conducted a thorough search of the premises. However, no suspicious thing was found. Though none of the employees were present — being a public holiday — at the Secretariat, the security of the Secretariat was beefed up as a precautionary measure.

Investigating agencies have initiated a probe and are confirming the authenticity as well as the source of the email.

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).
