Shimla, May 12

Security has been beefed up in Shimla and a strict vigil is being maintained at important and busy areas. All vehicles passing through the Shoghi barrier are being checked. An alert has been sounded after Gurpatwant Singh Pannun associated with the banned Sikhs For Justice released an audio message stating that just like the RPG attack on the Punjab Police intelligence headquarters in Mohali, it could happen in Shimla also.

Pannun announced a reward of $25,000 to anyone who would provide information about the foreign visits of Chief Minister Jai Ram Thakur and DGP Sanjay Kundu.

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).
