Mandi, February 27

The police have booked Dile Ram, Zila Parishad (ZP) member of Thachi ward under Seraj Assembly segment of Mandi, and a youth, Vijay Kumar, for misbehaving with some Scheduled Caste youths during the Shivratri fair in Mandi.

The police said Susheel Kumar of Panjain village had lodged a complaint that he was sitting with four other youths to have lunch in Mandi on Thursday.

Susheel said when Vijay Kumar of his village saw them, they told them to sit separately at another place.

Susheel Kumar alleged that at the same time, Zila Parishad member Dile Ram arrived at the spot and threatened them with dire consequences if they did not do so.

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).
