Bhawanipatna (Odisha), April 7

Two prisoners, who were facing trial under the POCSO Act, escaped from the Kalahandi district jail in Odisha on Sunday, an official said.

The two were in the jail garden this morning and they somehow managed to break the security in the prison which has high walls and watchtowers, he said.

The jail authorities filed an FIR at Bhawanipatna Town police station and did not disclose further details of the incident.

Bhawanipatna Town inspector-in-charge Jasobanta Hial said an investigation has been initiated to nab the undertrials and ascertain how they broke the security cover inside the jail.

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).
