UNA, APRIL 1

A dispute over land led to the murder of a man from Nangran village today in Una. The police, in a press release, stated that complainant Gurdial Singh of Fatehpur village near Nangran was a witness to the incident.

The press release, quoting the complainant, stated that victim Vipan Kumar had come home on leave and was harvesting his wheat crop. Some other people were also working in their fields nearby when Jaswant Singh, alias Bittu, accompanied by three other persons, came in a van.

Jaswant was carrying a 12-bore gun with three of his accomplices — driver Gurpreet Singh, Dilpreet Singh and Amrik Singh. Jaswant allegedly fired a round at Vipan, who died on the spot, said the complainant. — OC

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).
