Jammu, April 18

The police arrested eight persons, including seven Myanmar nationals (Rohingyas), for defying lockdown orders in Narwal here on late Friday evening.

The police said during patrolling on Friday evening a police party at Narwal found some people offering namaz at Karyani Talab mosque in violation of lockdown order.

A case was registered and all eight persons were arrested.

Arrested persons were identified as Abdul Latief of Narwal, Jammu, Mohammad Ayoub, Sayeed Alam, Lal Mian, Noor Alam, Mohammad Hasham, Siraj-e-Mustafa and Abdul Jabar, all residents of Burma, presently living in Kargil Colony, Jammu.

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).
