New Delhi, June 10

Manipur Chief Minister N Biren Singh’s advance security convoy was attacked by suspected militants in Kangpokpi district on Monday. One security personnel was injured in the attack.

The convoy was reportedly travelling from Imphal to Jiribam district when it came under attack on the National Highway-37 around 10.30 am. Suspected Kuki militants are said to have ambushed the convoy, the police said. The CM was planning to visit Jiribam that has been in turmoil since a man was beheaded by unidentified attackers on June 6. The incident had led to burning of about 70 houses and forced hundreds of people to flee the area.

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).
