New Delhi, August 7

The BSF on Wednesday thwarted a “significant” infiltration attempt by a large group of Bangladeshis along the International Border (IB) in West Bengal, amid an ongoing high alert announced due to turmoil in Bangladesh.

Officials said their personnel stopped about 120-140 Bangladeshi citizens who were trying to cross over to the Indian side. Sources said Bangladeshi nationals were gathering near the border, but they were made to disperse after dispelling their concerns. “These gatherings were prompted by fears of attacks by protesters in Bangladesh,” a BSF official said. — TNS

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).
