Bijapur, June 29

Twelve Naxalites, including a couple carrying a reward of Rs 6 lakh on their heads, surrendered in Chhattisgarh’s Bijapur district on Saturday, the police said.

They surrendered in front of senior police and CRPF officials here stating that they were disappointed by the atrocities committed by Maoists on tribals and the “inhuman” and “hollow” Maoist ideology, district superintendent of police Jitendra Kumar Yadav said. The surrendered Naxalites were provided instant assistance of Rs 25,000 each, the official said, adding that they would be provided benefits as per the Surrender and Rehabilitation Policy of the government.

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).
