Palampur, March 25

Ashish Butail, local MLA and general secretary of the HPCC, today said that because of rising incidents of theft, people in many areas of Palampur were feeling insecure and not venturing out of their houses after the sunset.

Butail, while addressing mediapersons here, alleged that the cases of theft were rising and the police had failed to trace most of the culprits. He added that in the Rajpur area, valuables worth over Rs 20 lakh were stolen but till date the police could neither arrest the culprits nor recover the stolen property.

He said the rising drug trade had emerged as a serious problem in Palampur.—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).
