Several people have been booked for allegedly assaulting a police constable during the Bishu fair in Kupvi, Shimla district.

According to reports, the constable, who was on duty, saw a group of people shouting and asked them to stop. This led to an argument that soon turned into a scuffle.

During the altercation, the constable's uniform was damaged. He managed to detain one of the accused and attempted to take him to the police station.

However, as he was leaving, a mob surrounded his vehicle, threatened him with stones and a local weapon, snatched the vehicle key, and freed the detained individual. The Chopal DSP confirmed the incident. He said a case has been registered.

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).
