The personal email of Goa chief minister Pramod Sawant was briefly hacked, a senior official said on Saturday.

The investigation showed no "visible damage" was caused to the Gmail account because of hacking on November 19 night, he said.

"The Cyber Crime cell of Goa Police immediately swung into action and the CM's personal Gmail ID was restored after four to five hours," the official said.

An investigation is underway to track down the hacker.

The CM's gmail ID is attached to YouTube and other social media, he added.

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).
