Around 10 people were injured in stone pelting between two groups during a Muharram procession in Maharashtra’s Buldhana district, a police official has said.

“The stone-pelting took place in the Malipurya area of Sakharkherda village. Some 10 people suffered minor injuries. The mob was dispersed after tear gas shells were lobbed. The situation is under control. A sizeable number of police personnel under Additional Superintendent of Police BB Mahamuni are at the site,” he said.

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).
