A woman in the city on Monday claimed to have found a sack containing cash Rs 17.5 lakh lying on the street here and handed it over to police.

An officer at the Vilakkuthoon police station, where a case has been registered, said the money was discovered by the woman’s daughter, a Class XII student.

The woman identified as Selvamani said: “We were returning home after buying some food from a hotel when we found the sack lying in the middle of the road. When a bike went over it, the sack got torn in a corner and I saw there was cash inside.”

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).
