The JCO, who has since retired, was charged under provisions of the Official Secrets Act and the Army Act.

Naxalites torch four trucks in Chhattisgarh

Narayanpur Naxalites set ablaze four trucks engaged in the transportation of iron ore from a mine in Chhattisgarh’s Narayanpur district, the police said on Sunday. No person was injured in the incident, which took place late Saturday night.

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).
