An alleged bovine smuggler was detained under the stringent Public Safety Act (PSA) in Udhampur district on Saturday, police said.

Totu Din, a resident of Katwalt village in Ramnagar, is a habitual bovine smuggler and his detention order under PSA was issued by Udhampur district magistrate, a police spokesperson said.

The PSA is an administrative law that allows detention without charge or trial up to two years in some cases.

“Totu has been involved in several bovine smuggling cases registered in the district. Despite multiple FIRs and previous arrests, he continued his illegal activities, posing a serious threat to public peace. Consequently, he has been booked under the PSA and lodged in jail,” the spokesperson 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).
