Una, June 30

A Una District Court today remanded Ispur panchayat secretary Vishnu Sharma in two days police custody in a bribery case. The Una Vigilance and Anti Corruption Bureau (V&ACB) had arrested him yesterday.

Sharma was caught red-handed while taking a bribe of Rs 12,000 from a resident of Barnoh panchayat for issuing a no objection certificate to him for setting up a brick sales outlet at Ispur village.

The Additional SP of the Una V&ACB said that the case was being investigated and the accused had been sent to two days police custody.

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).
