Rampur, May 17

Two persons have been arrested for poaching a monal, a protected bird species, in the Taklech forest under the Rampur subdivision of Shimla district. A team of forest guards was on a routine patrol in the forest on Thursday when they encountered two individuals with two dead monals and a rifle. The Forest Department team, led by Forest Range Officer Sudarshan Kumar, handed over the duo to the police.

Gudu Ram and Lekhraj were arrested with dead birds and a rifle belonging to one Rohit, a resident of Khincha.

The police have registered a case under the Wildlife Conservation Act 51, Arms Act 25(1)A, and Section 34 of the IPC. The police are investigating why the rifle was not deposited in poll time.

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).
